Three steps. The checked texts are set beside other collections, so you can follow people, letters, places and time.
Collatorium collates the checked texts with other collections and archives, so you can follow people, letters, places and time. What you find can send a page back for a new reading.
The letter a page answered, the correspondence it belongs to, the writing around a life — in layers, from a person's own papers out to their period. Corpora →
Where people were and how they moved: rooms and buildings, period charts, today's map. Places →
When things happened — in a life, a circle and the world. A timeline view, working with Aeon Timeline, is planned; not built yet.
The same three ways in, for one collection: its own corpora, places and people.
A network on a map. Each dot is a person, where they lived in the chosen year; each line joins two people who wrote to each other in the three years before. Drag the slider: people move, and the network changes with them.
A conversation is often split between libraries — one side in your collection, the other in a university or national library's digitised holdings. Collatorium will set both sides in order, each with its page image and where it is kept.
