The Garibaldi panorama, measuring 4.75 feet tall and 260 feet wide and illustrated on both side was created in 1860, and acquired by the Brown University Library in 2005. It is not on display due to its fragility and size, so it was digitized in 2007. The Garibaldi and Risorgimento web site contains the digitized images, as well as the materials that are relevant to the panorama, the figure of Garibaldi and the historical period.

The goal of the U.S. Epigraphy Project (USEP) is to collect and share information about ancient Greek and Latin inscriptions preserved in the United States of America. Inscriptions in the U.S. Epigraphy corpus are encoded in XML using the Epidoc schema.

The Mapping Colonial Americas Publishing Project aims to visualize New World printing over geographic space and across literary genres from European contact to 1800. The project began as a teaching tool to allow students unfamiliar with the history of colonial British-American reading and printing practices to see the range of genres published in Europe's American colonies and to demonstrate the regional differences in reading and publishing habits.

The Brown Digital Repository (BDR) is a place to gather, index, store, preserve, and make available digital assets produced via the scholarly, instructional, research, and administrative activities at Brown.
