Welcome to the digital text archive of the VZG!
Welcome to the pages of the Digital Text Archive. Our archive serves the storage, maintenance and provision of digital texts. The archive is still under construction, both technically and in terms of content.
About the project:
The "Digital Text Archive" is a pioneering platform that enables storing and managing digital texts in TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) format and associated digitizations. TEI provides a standardized way to structure and annotate complex textual information, enabling deep analysis and evaluation of texts.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to facilitate access to high-quality digital texts and ensure the long-term preservation of cultural heritage. We strive to support researchers, students, scientists and the general public with a user-friendly portal that makes the rich treasure of digital texts in the GBV accessible.
What we offer:
- Comprehensive Collection: Our archive hosts a wide range of digital texts covering various topics, epochs and cultures.
- Powerful Search Functions: Search the collection using search parameters to find text that matches your research interests.
- TEI-compliant Storage: All texts are stored in TEI format to enable rich annotation and analysis.
- Collaborative Platform: The platform promotes collaboration between researchers and enables the exchange of knowledge and ideas.
- Portal Connection: We enable the delivery of selected texts to portals to ensure broader visibility.
