Some of you might be interested to hear that our TEI-based digital scholarly edition of Anne Frank's manuscripts is now also available in English. It includes her Diary, The Back House (the novel into which she set out to rewrite the diary), her collection of Tales, the unfinished novel Cady's Life and her Book of Beautiful Sentences (inspiring fragments that she copied from her reading). The edition provides extensive historical and textual commentary, context information and background essays. It can be accessed at https://annefrankmanuscripts.org/.

Unfortunately, the copyright restrictions are the same as those for the Dutch edition we announced a few years ago. The edition is not accessible from most English-speaking countries, from the Netherlands, France and Spain and from quite a number of other countries. That's also the reason why we cannot publish the XML files.

If you live in one of the countries where the edition cannot be accessed, you might still be interested in our article in the DH Benelux Journal, explaining the thinking behind the edition: https://journal.dhbenelux.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/DH_Benelux_Journal_Volume_5_1_De_Bruijn.pdf.
