Victorian Britain’s leading philosophical empiricist and liberal theorist, John Stuart Mill left behind a significant body of unpublished writing, in the form of handwritten marginalia within the books of his personal library. Mill Marginalia Online is an international Digital Humanities collaboration between The University of Alabama and Somerville College dedicated to producing a digital edition of this material. This ongoing project’s organic development, technical approach, and present scope may serve as a useful model for future DH initiatives. Its actual content, as represented by the marks and annotations present in Mill’s personal copies of Alexis de Tocqueville’s De la Démocratie en Amérique (1835–40) and Auguste Comte’s collected works, including Cours de Philosophie Positive (1830–42) and Système de Politique Positive (1851–54), begin to suggest the intellectual significance of Mill’s marginalia for international scholarship
