The egodocument<\/em> database is the result of several projects funded by the Swiss national Science Foundation (SNF) :<\/p>\n

Deutschschweizerische Selbstzeugnisse (1500-1800) als Quellen der Mentalit\u00e4tsgeschichte<\/em> was led from 1996 to 2003 first at the University of Zurich and then at the University of Basel under the supervision of Prof. Kaspar von Greyerz.<\/p>\n

L\u2019\u00e9ducation domestique au miroir des \u00e9crits personnels en Suisse romande (1750-1820)<\/em> and Valorisation scientifique des \u00e9crits personnels de l\u2019\u00e9poque moderne en Suisse latine (1500-1820)<\/em> were both directed from 2011 to 2018 by Prof. Dani\u00e8le Tosato-Rigo at the University of Lausanne.<\/p>\n

The database maintains a record of documents written from 1500 to 1820 available at the main swiss archives and librairies.<\/p>\n

Egodocuments encompass texts in which an author writes about his or her own acts, thoughts and feelings or about his or her family or local community. It may take the form of autobiography, diary, travel diary, chronicle or family record. (Personal correspondence has been excluded of this inventory for reasons of practicality, with the exception of letters copy books.)<\/p>\n

The database is not an exhaustive inventory and is concerned mainly with conserving archive materials from the various cantons. Indeed, it concentrates on only one part of the documents identified by the various FNS projects (work still in progress thanks to the network of\u00a0associate members of egodocuments.ch <\/span><\/a>and the valuable collaboration of external contributors) (see User Guide<\/a><\/span>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
