These are the Digital Journals of Ralph Waldo Emerson, an archive provided by The Ralph Waldo Emerson Institute for the use and convenience of interested students of the life and works of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The source of these digital Journals is the ten-volume Edward Emerson edition, originally published in Boston by Houghton Mifflin from 1904 through 1914, and comprising over 5,000 pages of material. This edition comprises approximately 90% of the originals, which are housed at the Houghton Library at Harvard University. The digital journals are completely searchable in this PDF format, which requires Acrobat Reader 7.0 or higher to access. The journals cover the period between 1820 when Emerson was a Junior at Harvard and 1876, when Emerson stopped writing in his journals.

Dear All:
We have a very special Emersonian guest here in Concord for a very short time only.
Consequently a special meeting of the Emerson Reading Circle will convene this
Wednesday, June 6, 2007
at the Concord Library at
7:15pm,
in the Lower Community Meeting Room.
Our special guest is
Antonio Caro Magallanesof Guadalajara, México.
Antonio will give a short talk on the essay Self Reliance (Word Doc) and
the effect Emerson is having on his group and community in Mexico.
Time permitting we will read some of Self Reliance (on RWE.org)
together,which may hopefully lead to one of our lively discussions.
This is indeed an opportunity to hold hands
with our Emerson Friends around the world.
I have attached
A reminder that our usual June meeting will be held Tuesday, June 19, 2007 at the usual time and place.
I hope to see you soon,
Edie
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society
offering one grant and two awards
JOURNAL XXVII
1836
(From Journal B)
[MR. AND MRS. EMERSON were now settled in their new home, his younger brother Charles being an inmate there, beloved and reverenced by both. Each week, the stage which passed their house brought friends or visitors, for Mr. Emerson’s door was always open to high-minded persons, known or unknown. He preached every Sunday at East Lexington, where he was much esteemed, or elsewhere by exchange, and his lectures were increasingly in demand.
The Journal opens, January 16, with one of the passages in Nature (here omitted because already printed), about the titular owners of Concord’s fields, while the poet has property in the horizon.]
What would a modern day adventure in the exploration of self-reliance look like? Perhaps Reid Stowe gives us a glimpse of that journey through his life long passion for sailing. The 75 foot Gaff Schooner Ann is currently docked in the Hudson River, and being prepped for a 1000 day sail at sea. Similar to Thoreau’s retreat to Walden, Reid’s adventure is an exploration of life beyond the grid, and certainly a more rigorous test of one’s survival skills. The things that nourish Reid in his travels are the very same activities that sustain us in Manhattan; music and art! Take a look at this extraordinary life of a modern day globe wanderer in the video link below. The web site also chronicles the building of Schooner Ann in North Carolina 25 years ago, and showcases Reid’s music and art.  More information can be found at www.1000days.net
We Need Your Help.
Become a Supporting Member of The Ralph Waldo Emerson Institute. Have greater influence on RWE.org and help grow our RWE community.
RWE.org and the Ralph Waldo Emerson Institute are here to make available the Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson, with granular SEARCH capability; it is by far the largest collection on the Internet to date. Of course there’s history on RWE’s life and influences during his time in Concord, Boston and places around the world. The future will bring Emerson’s letters, sermons, articles by and about him and his most important journals.
Much more material will come as the funds become available. It’s really up to the users of the site to make that happen. The expenses of scanning, OCR transfer and uploading to the site are major investments. We hope that membership in the RWE Institute will grow as more and more people come to understand and appreciate the value of the site. We urge you to help make these additions possible by becoming a member at whatever level you can afford.
With Supporting Membership (all levels), you can submit news, articles and add events to the calendar for posting on RWE.org (all submissions are moderated). If you’re an educator or a RWE enthusiast, you can speak to the, more than 1,100 visitors that come to RWE.org each day.
Also, in the INTERACT section of the site, you will find drop-down sections for participation in the site. WE invite members to take part and to let us know what interests you most.
