The Mind Is a Collection is a born-digital museum of early modern cognitive models. For the last decade or so, I have been studying the spaces in which the philosophies of the British Enlightenment were thought, penned, or put into practice. One outcome of this research is a book, The Mind Is a Collection: Case Studies in Eighteenth Century Thought (Penn, 2015). But this book was all along imagine

d as the catalogue of a museum, a study of the things that people used to make sense of mental processes. The museum is now online, and can be visited at www.mindisacollection.org.

I'm thrilled to be able to tell you that the exhibit catalogue for The Mind Is a Collection has been awarded the Oscar Kenshur Prize by the Center for Eighteenth Century Studies. From their description of the prize: "Since 2007, the Center has awarded an annual book prize to an outstanding monograph of interest to eighteenth-century scholars working in a range of disciplines. The prize is named in honor of the work of Oscar Kenshur, professor emeritus of comparative literature at Indiana University, a dix-huitièmiste par excellence, former Chicago cab driver, and one of the founding members of the Center."
