  • Early Modern [1500 - 1789]
  • Long Nineteenth Century [1789 - 1914]
  • Modern [1914 - 1965]
  • Contemporary [1965 - Today]

Year ranges can also be added in the format YYYY-YYYY.

Here the values yes or no should be used to say whether the digital edition is digital in accordance with Patrick Sahle's definition of the term:

"A digitized print edition is not a "digital edition". If the paradigm of an edition is limited to the two-dimensional space of the "page" and to typographic means of information representation, then it's not a digital edition." (see: https://www.digitale-edition.de/exist/apps/editions-browser/about.html)

Here the values values yes and no should be used to say whether the digital edition is an edition in accordance with Patrick Sahle's definition of the term:

Year the project started. If not specified, use not provided.

Year the project ended. If ongoing type present. If not specified, use not provided.

Name and surname of principal investigator/manager/coordinator.

Institution(s) involved in the project. If multiple, separate with a semicolon.
If not specified, use not provided.
