Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Additional Information:
Joseph Ritson's Robin Hood is the first example of Robin Hood scholarship.  The two-volume 1795 edition was reprinted in 1832; many single-volume editions have also been printed.  Ritson's essay on Robin Hood remains a touchstone for Robin Hood scholarship; though modern scholars have found many faults with Ritson's conclusions and methods, his work is considered the foundation of Robin Hood scholarship.
