Digital edition of Max Frisch’s notes
The holdings of the Max Frisch Archive include the hand-written notes of author and architect Max Frisch. More than 100 notebooks, several dozen notepads, spiral-bound books and loose notes have survived. They give us an insight into the author’s workplace, revealing Frisch as a keen observer of contemporary affairs.
The planned digital edition will provide researchers with a new database of primary sources and make the comprehensive, nearly unpublished corpus available to the general public for the first time.
Project objectives
- Integral digitisation of all notes in the ETH Library DigiCenter
- Transcription and encoding of the hand-written manuscripts in TEI-XML using optical character recognition
- Categorisation and commenting of notes, creation of registers and connection with standard data
- Front-end web publication
- Development of knowledge sharing services (including for schools)
Time frame
2022 to 2026
