This volume takes stock of the current state of the historical lexicography of German, sounding out the prospects for future research. It focuses on the ongoing development of dictionary projects in the digital age and the links being forged to other forms of engagement with words and dictionaries, as in literature and the museum, but also in relation to digital offerings, such as Wikipedia.
