About TextGrid

TextGrid is a virtual research environment for the humanities, optimized for working with TEI-coded resources.

TextGrid is a virtual research environment designed to support scholars in the humanities. It is optimized for working with TEI-coded resources, covering the entire research lifecycle from data creation and analysis to long-term archiving and publication. The platform consists of two main components: the TextGrid-Lab, a downloadable open-source application for collaborative work on text resources, and the TextGrid Repository, which serves as a data source and a platform for publishing research. Offered by the supporting institutions of DARIAH-DE, TextGrid is a key service within CLARIAH-DE and is being further developed for the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). The platform is free to use, with support provided via email and community resources. It is primarily a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
