Why edit texts using digital tools? And why produce online editions in an open access environment? This seminar explores the many benefits, from ensuring editorial consistency to maximising accessibility for readers and researchers. I will explore the principles and practice with examples from my current work, which happens to deal with newly excavated cuneiform tablets from southern Iraq, from a previously little-documented period of Babylonian history. But the same basic theories and methods are relevant to all periods, places, and genres of text, and are useful to think about for both creators and users of text editions.
