DigitalHusserl: improved access to Husserl's writings and thinking.

The Husserl Archives was established in 1938 with the purpose of preserving and publishing the writings of the German philosopher Edmund Husserl, whose 40,000 pages of manuscripts were saved from Nazi Germany, and whose phenomenological thinking is widely acknowledged as one of the most significant philosophical endeavors of the 20th-century. DigitalHusserl represents the transition of the Husserl Archives into the age of digital humanities. DigitalHusserl will preserve, organize, and present to the scholary community Husserl's writings - the original stenograph manuscripts and corresponding transcriptions - in a online and open access digital environment. DigitalHusserl will allow for an increased global access to Husserl's writings and promises a significant crowd sourcing potential for the understanding Husserl's thought.
