The Cervantes Project, established in 1995 by Director Eduardo Urbina, is the collaborative effort of a team of scholars and software designers to bring together bibliographic, textual, and visual information about the work of Cervantes into an interactive digital edition environment. The CoDHR is currently working with the Cervantes project team to support the migration of the Cervantes content and digital variorum editions to a supported and sustainable platform.

“MARION CAPRON: What kind of work did you do at Vogue?

DOROTHY PARKER: I wrote captions. This little pink dress will win you a beau, that sort of thing. Funny, they were plain women working at Vogue, not chic. They were decent, nice women – the nicest women I ever met – but they had no business on such a magazine. They wore funny little bonnets and in the pages of their magazine they virginized the models from tough babes into exquisite little ones. Now the editors are what they should be: all chic and worldly; most of the models are out of the mind of Bram Stoker, and as for the caption writers – my old job – they're recommending mink covers at seventy-five dollars apiece for the wooden ends of golf clubs – for the friend who has everything. Civilization is coming to an end, you understand.”

- from an interview published in the Paris Review, 1956
