You may occasionally notice differences between the original material and the way the information appears on this website. This is typically due to errors made during the transcription process, and we are grateful to members of the public for drawing our attention to these errors. Where the original material itself features errors such as spelling mistakes, in the interests of scholarly fidelity these features are typically transcribed and attributed to the author or agent responsible.
We extend our sincere thanks to Bruce Alexander, grandson of Roy Bruce, who has made this project possible by donating a wonderful collection of family letters and photographs to the Macmillan Brown Library. We would also like to specially thank meBooks for producing this website, the Macmillan Brown Library for providing assistance with research and digitisation, and Han Li for assistance with the site design.
The scanning, transcription and TEI markup of letters in the Roy Bruce collection was undertaken by students of ENGL317/419 in 2010 and 2011. We thank them for showing great enthusiasm and dedication during their work on this challenging project. In no particular order they are: Sophie Tucker, Lucy-Jane Walsh, Bjorn Gruebner, Kathy Kise, Keely McBride, Sian Evans, Al Gardner, Donelle McKinley. We also acknowledge the contribution of staff in the UC Digital Humanities programme, especially Lucy-Jane Walsh, Jennifer Middendorf, Han Li, Paul Millar and Christopher Thomson.
