The Cervantes Project and Collection, created by Dr. Eduardo Urbina, is an initiative dedicated to the life, works, and legacy of Miguel de Cervantes, the renowned Spanish writer best known for Don Quixote. The project provides a comprehensive online resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts. The online tools are based upon one of the world’s largest print collections of Cervantes. Known as the, Eduardo Urbina Cervantes Project Collection, these editions are housed at Cushing Memorial Library and Archives.

The Cervantes Project, housed at Texas A&M University (TAMU), started as a collaborative academic project between Texas A&M’s Department of Hispanic Studies, Department of Computer Science’s  Center for the Study of Digital Libraries (CSDL), Cushing Memorial Library & Archives, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, and Dr. Fred Jehle of Indiana-Purdue University.
