Dear Colleagues,

Now available online: a digital edition of Anne Frank’s Diary and all her other manuscripts, at https://annefrankmanuscripten.org/. The present edition is in Dutch. A translation into English will follow in about a year’s time. The edition was built using TEI-XML.

Unfortunately, the edition is only accessible in countries where Anne Frank’s texts are in the public domain. These include, to name a few, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Israel and Japan. The edition is not available in other countries, such as the UK, the USA and the Netherlands.

A YouTube video (in Dutch, but YouTube can generate subtitles in your language) that explains the edition is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wawNHUaMM5c

All best,

Peter Boot
