Textual Editing Lab

The Textual Editing Lab connects researchers, archivists, digital developers, artists, professionals and students engaged with textual editing challenges and opportunities, to share good scholarly practice and encourage innovation and collaboration.

To develop this mission we organise Textual Editing Lab (TELab) workshops, talks and project demonstrations. We also circulate details of funding opportunities and new developments related to text editing.
