Catalogue of Digital Editions

This research seeks to examine best practice in the field of digital editions by collating relevant evidence in a detailed catalogue of extant digital projects. The editions included in the Catalogue come from numerous sources and their selection follows basic criteria: the electronic texts can be ongoing or complete projects, born-digital editions or electronic reproductions of print volumes.
