The Bernese polymath Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777) published approximately 9'000 reviews for the Göttingische Gelehrte Anzeigen between 1745 and 1778. This entire corpus is edited on the data and edition platform hallerNet / République des Lettres. Building on this dataset, students at the Institute of History at the University of Bern explored a range of topics related to practices of knowledge in the Enlightenment, combining close and distant reading with a variety of digital methods and tools, and publishing their findings as a series of online articles.
