Ferdinand Tönnies‘s (1855–1936) correspondence provides an important window into the establishment and formation of sociology as an independent discipline, as well as the transna-tional and trans-disciplinary context in which scholars communicated about the developing field. It also reveals the significance that epistolary exchange continued to have on academic networking and knowledge formation well into the 20th century. This suggests the crucial in-fluence of epistolary styles and conventions on both epistemic and social norms, and on the guiding principles of the emergent discipline.Research into this originary context, however, faces a key obstacle: Tönniesʼs letters are scattered worldwide and mostly written in Kurrentschrift, a difficult-to-read form of german cursive. This project aims to facilitate research into these letters by building an online edition of all non-family letters belonging to Tönnies. Over 1,700 letters are to be collected, digitized, transcribed, edited, equipped with analytical tools, and presented in a freely accessible format on a forward-looking internet platform. By forward-looking, we mean that new findings and research results will be able to be imported into this edition in the future.Lastly, the competencies gained in this process and the analytical tools furnished should enable research into the overlooked epistemic-epistolary context mentioned above using the various tools developed: What is the link between the way these letters were written, the sha-pe of this social network and the structure of sociological knowledge? This interpretive work will additionally serve to test and improve the electronic edition.Four institutions are working together to realize this project: 1) the Kulturwissenschaftliche Institut Essen (KWI), which will conduct the editorial and research work; 2) the Schleswig-Holsteinische Landesbibliothek (SHLB) in Kiel, which holds the Tönnies-Papers; 3) the Trierer Center for Digital Humanities (TCDH) of the Universität Trier, which will provide the project’s IT and supervision; 4) the Kommunikations-, Informations-, Medienzentrum (KIM) of the uni-versity of Konstanz, which will provide, on the one hand, the server infrastructure and, on the other hand, will, with the Sozialwissenschaftliche Archive Konstanz (SAK), assist with editorial work. After the project is completed the KIM will guarantee the continuing availability of the edition in its technology and its content.

滕尼斯（Ferdinand Tönnies，1855-1936）的书信往来为我们提供了一个重要的窗口，让我们得以了解社会学作为一门独立学科的建立和形成，以及学者们交流这一发展中领域的跨国家和跨学科背景。它还揭示了书信交流在世纪继续对学术网络和知识形成的重要性。这表明书信体的风格和惯例对认识和社会规范以及新兴学科的指导原则都有着至关重要的影响。然而，对这一原始背景的研究面临着一个关键障碍：滕尼斯的信件分散在世界各地，大多数是用一种难以阅读的德语草书形式Kurrentschrift写的。该项目旨在通过建立属于Tönnies的所有非家庭信件的在线版本来促进对这些信件的研究。将收集、数字化、转录、编辑1 700多封信件，配备分析工具，并以可免费获取的格式在前瞻性互联网平台上展示。我们所说的前瞻性，是指新的发现和研究成果将能够在未来被引入到这一版本中。最后，在这一过程中获得的能力和提供的分析工具应该能够使用开发的各种工具对上述被忽视的认识-书信体背景进行研究：这些信件的书写方式、社会网络的形态和社会学知识的结构之间有什么联系？这一解释工作还将有助于测试和改进电子版。四个机构正在共同努力实现这一项目：1）文化科学研究所埃森（KWI），负责编辑和研究工作; 2）位于基尔的石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因州图书馆（SHLB），持有《滕尼斯论文集》; 3）特里尔大学的特里尔数字人文中心（TCDH），将提供项目的IT和监督; 4）康斯坦茨大学的Komplankations-，Informations-，Medienzentrum（KIM），一方面将提供服务器基础设施，另一方面，将与康斯坦茨社会科学档案馆（SAK）一起协助编辑工作。项目完成后，KIM将保证该版本在技术和内容上的持续可用性。
