Ernst Theodor Langer, a German librarian who would later work as director of the Herzog August Library in Wolfenbüttel, compiled the Family Book of Ernst Theodor Langer—a collection of letters, quotations, family history, drawings, and other writings—while traveling across Europe between 1769 and 1776. Written by many people at many different locations, the inscriptions within the notebook were gathered from friends and family—including writers, composers, and linguists—whom Langer met while on the trip, providing an insight into his development as an intellectual.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
