Ed. by Victoria Myers, David O'Shaughnessy and Mark Philp, Oxford, Oxford Digital Library, 2010.
"Godwin’s diary consists of 32 octavo notebooks [...] [with entries from] 6 April 1788 [...] [to] 26 March 1836. [...] The diary is a resource of immense importance to researchers of history, politics, literature, and women’s studies. It maps the radical intellectual and political life of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as well as providing extensive evidence on publishing relations, conversational coteries, artistic circles and theatrical production over the same period. One can also trace the developing relationships of one of the most important families in British literature [...] [and m]any of the most important figures in British cultural history feature in its pages.
The diary has been transcribed and encoded so that it is fully searchable. High resolution scanned images of the diary are also provided."
"The project has sought to code the diary so as to retain the richness and diversity of the information. Each element in a day’s entry has been coded so as to distinguish what Godwin read, what he wrote, whom he saw, where he saw them, in what activities or meals they shared, and where he went."

Hg. von Roland S. Kamzelak und Ulrich Ott, Stuttgart, Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach, 2004-2009. [Aus dem Arbeitsprogramm:] "Neben der gedruckten Fassung soll eine elektronische Publikation als zusätzliches Hilfsmittel für die Forschung erscheinen, welche die Funktion der Tagebücher als Nachschlagewerk erfüllt. Die geführten Register zu Personen, Werken, Orten, Plätzen, Körperschaften und Zeitungen/Zeitschriften sollen zusammen mit einer geeigneten Suchmaschine auf der CD-ROM die wissenschaftliche Recherche erleichtern. Faksimiles exemplarischer und singulärer Tagebuchseiten sowie der zahlreichen Beilagen ergänzen die elektronische Publikation und machen den Quellencharakter des Tagebuches sichtbar. [...] Die Buchausgabe erscheint ab Frühjahr 2004 in einem halbjährlichen Rhythmus. Dem ersten Band liegt eine CD-ROM mit dem Preprint des gesamten Textes des Transkriptionsprojektes in unbearbeiteter Form bei. Mit Erscheinen des letzten Bandes wird der Preprint ersetzt durch die endgültige Forschungsfassung mit Retrievalwerkzeugen und zugehörigen Materialien."

Project lead by Adrian S. Wisnicki, Los Angeles (CA), UCLA Library, 2011. "Together with the text of the diary, the project [...] make[s] available an exciting and rich array of complementary materials:
- a Livingstone spectral image archive that digitally preserves all the pages of Livingstone’s 1870 and 1871 Field Diaries as high-resolution spectral images with full metadata, and so that allows direct access to all the primary Livingstone data on which this critical edition is based; and
- a webpage that allows comparison between the original 1871 Field Diary, the highly revised 1872 Journal created by Livingstone, and the further revised 1874 book posthumously produced by Livingstone’s friend, Horace Waller;
- critical, textual, and historical essays and notes;
- a detailed project history and archive that chronicles the fascinating journey of Livingstone’s words from the "rediscovery" of the faded diary in 2009 to its publication today as the first significant nineteenth-century British literary manuscript to be enhanced with spectral imaging and processing. The project archive contains over 60 downloadable documents and files produced in the course of the project that collectively provide an intimate and comprehensive look into the production of this critical edition" [from resource]

Published by The Orwell Price, o.O. 2008-2012. "Since 9th August 2008, we have been blogging George Orwell’s diaries from 1938 in real time, 70 years to the day since each entry was originally written. The diaries start as Orwell heads to Morocco (with his wife Eileen) to recuperate from injury and illness, and end in 1942 (or 2012) as the Second World War rages.
In addition to the diary entries, there are images and documents complementing the diaries [...], and a Google Map of Orwell’s travels [...]." [from resource]

Directed by Marilyn Deegan, London, Centre for Computing in the Humanities / King's College London, 2010-. "Schenker Documents Online is a digital edition of three large collections of documents — the voluminous correspondence between Heinrich Schenker and the members of his circle, together with the theorist’s diaries and lessonbooks ; these are supported by additional documents relating to his life, and a set of "profiles" of people, places, and organizations with which he came into contact, the newspapers and journals that he read, and his own works.
SDO does not provide facsimiles; it is thus in no sense a digitization project, nor is it an archive in the strict sense. Rather, it is a scholarly edition, which aims to present near-diplomatic transcriptions of original texts, together with English translations, summaries, supporting commentary, and such interpretation as is necessary to relate these documents to Schenker’s personal development and those of his correspondents.
Because it is digital, it provides direct hyperlinks between documents, facilitating rapid movement from document to document; and it offers the end-user a range of tools with which to search and browse documents, thus facilitating the task of understanding and contextualization." [from resource]

Ed. by Theodore J. Crackel, Charlottesville (VA), University of Virginia Press, 2007. "The Papers of George Washington encompasses five separate series and the complete diaries. This digital edition offers the complete Papers to date in one online publication. You may search on full text and by date, author, or recipient across all volumes and series. The exceptional indexing of the individual print volumes is combined here into a single master index, and all internal document cross-references are linked." [from resource]
