Digital Editions Working Group

Introduction
​

DARIAH-CH Working Group Editions aims to create a forum for all those who are involved in any form of digital editing broadly defined. The group does not privilege a particular technology, approach, type of document or institutional context. Instead, it aims to provide a meeting place for the editing community, where exchange can happen and problems can be discussed.

​

The Working Group aims to meet twice a year in person and online. The working group is lead by Elena Chestnova (Università della Svizzera italiana),  Elena Spadini (University of Bern), with the support of Tobias Hodel (University of Bern) and Rita Gautschy, director of DaSCH.
