” The collection of location data is indispensable when working with digital cultural heritage. This also includes the field of digital letter editions. In addition to the location information in letter metadata, which is usually entered manually as standard, digital methods and tools open up new possibilities for automatically collecting, tagging, and analyzing location data in letter texts.” Küster, M. (2026).
