The JCLB research project is a born digital edition. The project imports and publishes digital images and metadata of all letters from and to Johann Caspar Lavater (more than 23.000 letters), mostly via importation from the Zurich Central Library (ZBZ), implemented by the Trier Center for Digital Humanities (TCDH). The metadata are visualized on an interactive map of Europe, showing Lavater’s vast network of correspondences. A selection of Lavater’s correspondences is manually transcribed and critically edited (indices, commentary). The manual transcriptions and critical annotations are generated with the tool Transcribo, developed and customized for JCLB by the TCDH.
