Queen's Men Editions is the result of a continuing effort by teams of scholars, programmers, administrators, and student research assistants.

Our personnel

Our editorial and advisory boards are composed of distinguished scholars, theater professionals, and technical advisors, all of whom contribute their expertise as volunteers.

Each play in the Queen's Men repertory is being edited by one or more scholars, working in universities around the world.

We are deeply grateful to the expertise of the members of the board of the non-profit corporation that directs Internet Shakespeare Editions, all of whom donate their time freely and benefit the work of Queen's Men Editions as well. This ISE board provides advice on editorial, business, legal, financial, and creative direction.

Our student programmers and assistants form a dedicated team of hard workers, bringing fresh ideas and hard work to their designated tasks.

Graphic design, navigability, and cross-browser compatibility are overseen by Roberta Livingstone, Creative Director for the ISE. Graphics are provided by QME consultant, Peter Sirisko.

Our supporters

Chief among our supporters is the University of Victoria which supports us through several of its departments:

• Internet Shakespeare Editions and its founding editor Michael Best, now retired, and Janelle Jenstad, current coordinating editor;
• The MacPherson Library, the Faculty of Humanities, Research Administration, and Computer and Systems Services which together provide infrastructure support;
• The Humanities Computing and Media Centre, which provides space for workstations and technical support;

We are also supported by McMaster University where we have had support in several areas:

• Department of Communications Studies and Multi-Media, and the Centre for Digital Humanities, with the help of Stéfan Sinclair and John Bell, where we have space to develop Performing the Queen's Men and working space for developing Queen's Men Editions.
• McMaster's Arts Research Board has been generous in supporting ongoing editorial work and publication, especially for Helen Ostovich, Holger Schott Syme, and Andrew Griffin (eds), Locating the Queen's Men, 1583-1603:Material Practices and Conditions of Playing (Ashgate 2009), but also for the filming and publishing of our video archives on DVD.
• Centre for Lifelong Learning, which helped to fund the building of Performing the Queen's Men as a pedagogical as well as an interactive research website.

We are grateful to the University of Toronto for supporting ongoing theatrical and editorial work

• Victoria University at the University of Toronto generously supported new work that developed out of our original research which allowed the Shakespeare and the Queen's Men project to blossom and multiply into several creative and academic progeny. The results include a book, cited above, our DVD archive, and the website Performing the Queen's Men.
• For our productions, we are grateful to the Graduate Centre for Study of Drama and its director Stephen Johnson for contributing to the training of young actors and backstage personnel, and to the filming and rehearsal space for Queen's Men productions; Paul Stoesser for his expertise in set and props design, and the late Luella Massey for lending us her organizational skills.
