Literary scholars and fans of Edgar Allan Poe may enjoy exploring The Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore's website, which offers a large collection of resources. Visitors may wish to begin with "The Collected Works of Edgar Allan Poe," which has been peer-reviewed by NINES and contains e-texts of all of Poe's poetry and fiction in multiple editions, as well as Poe's letters, essays, and other writings. This resource also provides ample information about Poe as e-texts. Examples of included information are two scholarly biographies: the books The Poe Log: A Documentary Life of Edgar Allan Poe by Dwight R. Thomas and David K. Jackson and The Portraits and Daguerreotypes of Edgar Allan Poe (complete with illustrations); and full issues of Poe Studies / Dark Romanticism dating from 1968-1987. There is also a section devoted specifically to Poe's life in Baltimore, as well as information about the society itself. This website was first launched in 1997 and has been admirably maintained, updated, and expanded by the Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore, with its most recent update as of this writing occurring in August 2018.
