Resumé
The project will digitise 6,000 scripts of staged but unpublished plays (1848-1950) held at the Royal Danish Library. It seeks to enhance accessibility to Danish drama and facilitate research opportunities by reintroducing overlooked playwrights and thus revising Danish literary history. The project builds upon existing digital infrastructure and contributes to text corpora of 18,000 playscripts.
