Description
Summary:This article introduces the ongoing project Moravians@Sea, which visualizes the spatiotemporal dimensions of the Moravian Atlantic crossings by presenting the transcriptions of the diaries on the transatlantic voyages as a “visualized source edition” and contextualizing them with further source material of other projects. This makes Moravians@Sea part of a cross-project storytelling of Moravian biographies. In view of the accumulative character of the portal, it can be understood as a metaportal of research on Moravian self-narratives. The visual conceptual principles of the website are explained.
