Digitizing Jan Tschichold’s estate

该项目使排版师简·齐奇霍尔德的遗产在全球范围内免费在线获得。简·齐克霍尔德是20世纪最重要的书籍和字体设计师之一。他在包豪斯的背景下工作，并在第二次世界大战后对印刷术产生了持久的影响。自2006年以来，他的遗产一直保存在莱比锡德国国家图书馆的德国图书和写作博物馆。该项目有四个目标：第一，遗产的数字化；第二，提供开放访问；第三，用关联数据编制索引；第四，科学监测。遗产的这些部分已被选中进行数字化，其在线发布在法律上是可行的。这是一个大约的总数。18500张。未来的用户应该对这些藏品的可用性有一个清晰的了解：已经数字化的材料在全球范围内都可以在线免费获得。没有数字化的东西可以在博物馆现场查阅。对于数字复制品，随后选择各种提供渠道。通过德国国家图书馆的数字目录，可以批量搜索、显示和输出元数据和数字副本。元数据在CC-0许可下提供，数字副本在另一个Creative Commons许可下提供。此外，这些数据还将输入德国数字图书馆(Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek，DDB)和欧洲图书馆。为了编制索引，数字化材料用综合主管部门档案(Gomeiname Normdati，GND)的词汇表丰富。这允许搜索与个人设计和图书项目、客户、出版商等有关的所有材料。首次创建了设计师作品的电子链接综合目录。科学监测和评估是与埃尔福特大学哲学系(Patrick Rössler教授)合作进行的。这些藏品将被尽可能逼真地编目，以供媒体和设计史研究人员使用。在项目结束时，其结果将在为期一天的研讨会上向专业人士展示。该项目为媒体和设计史和当代设计师提供了一个重要的数字收藏，用于研究从传统排版向数字排版过渡的书籍和字体设计的历史，并有助于其长期保存。

The project makes the estate of typographer Jan Tschichold freely available worldwide online. Jan Tschichold is one of the most important book and type designers of the 20th century. He worked in the context of the Bauhaus and had a lasting influence on typography after the Second World War. His estate has been kept at the German Museum of Books and Writing of the German National Library in Leipzig since 2006.The project has four objectives: firstly, the digitization of the estate; secondly, the provision of open access; thirdly, the indexing with linked data; and fourthly, scientific monitoring. Those parts of the estate have been selected for digitization whose publication online is legally possible. It is a total of approx. 18,500 sheets. Future users should get a clear picture of the availability of the collection: Materials that have been digitized are all freely available online worldwide. What has not been digitized can be consulted on site in the museum. For the digital reproductions, various channels of provision are subsequently selected. Via the digital catalogue of the German National Library, the metadata and digital copies can be searched, displayed and exported in bulk. The metadata is offered under a CC-0 license, the digital copies under another Creative Commons license. In addition, the data will be imported into the German Digital Library (Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek, DDB) and Europeana. For indexing purposes, the digitized material is enriched with the vocabulary of the Integrated Authority File (Gemeinsame Normdatei, GND). This allows searching for all materials related to individual designs and book projects, clients, publishers, etc. For the first time, an electronically linked comprehensive catalogue of the designer's works is created. The scientific monitoring & evaluation is carried out in cooperation with the University of Erfurt, Faculty of Philosophy (Prof. Dr. Patrick Rössler). The collection is to be catalogued as true-to-life as possible for the purposes of media and design history researchers. At the end of the project, its results will be presented to the professional public in a one-day symposium. An edited volume documents the results.The project provides media and design history and contemporary designers with a significant digital collection for researching the history of book and type design in the transition from traditional to digital typography and contributes to its long-term preservation.
