Burckhardtsource.org hosts a corpus of over 1,000 documents forming the correspondence of more than 300 different authors with Swiss historian of art and culture Jacob Burckhardt (1818–1897). Dr. Susanne Muller and Dr. Costanza Giannaccini, who collaborated on the creation of the platform and on the critical digital edition of the letters to Burckhardt, discuss the guiding principles of a project that acts as a generator of cultural constellations, and its resonance with Aby Warburg’s concept of a dynamic Denkraum .
