Institute for Dokumentologie and Scholarly Editing

The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing e.V. (IDE) is an international association of scholars from various disciplines in the humanities who are affiliated with the Digital Humanities. The institute conducts research in various subfields of humanities and digital humanities, primarily focusing on the exploration, processing, and presentation of knowledge derived from the objects, documents, and texts of these disciplines. It advances the establishment, networking, and dissemination of relevant competencies in research and teaching and actively supports the development of Digital Humanities through consulting, committee work, event organization, training programs, software development, basic research, and the publication of its own publication series.

The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing e.V. (IDE) is a (virtual) association of researchers working on the application of digital methods to (historical) documents and texts. The institute was founded in 2006. Its members are involved in important international research projects. The Institute sees itself as a focal point for the application of IT technologies in the field of critical editing, i.e. the science of editing, and documentology, i.e. a science of the historical document that understands it as a physical object as well as a text carrier. In order to fulfil this task, the members participate in relevant current discussions through reviews and academic contributions, organise conferences, advise on forward-looking projects and train the next generation of academics.
