A Literary Archive as the Basis of a Digital Edition: The Case of the Philomaths’ Archive

Abstract

The article addresses the challenges of digitally editing literary archives, using the project “The Philomath Archive – Digital Edition” as an example, focusing on the creation of a multi-layered editorial structure. It discusses the importance of relationships between documents and the role of the TEI XML standard in their detailed description and encoding. The article examines methods for preserving the nonlinear structure of the archive in digital form, encoding relationships between various elements of the edition, and editorial decisions regarding content organization. It highlights that a digital edition of the archive enables more complex engagement with the sources, offering new perspectives for editing and the humanities while acknowledging the limitations posed by digital technologies.
