 '''The Ludwig Wittgenstein Project is a multilingual website whose aim is to make available as many of Ludwig Wittgenstein's works as possible free of charge and with a free licence.'''
-Excellent academic resources exist which provide a transcription of the ''Nachlass'' (<span class="plainlinks">[http://wab.uib.no/transform/wab.php?modus=opsjoner WAB]</span>) and even scans of manuscripts and handwritten notes (<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.wittgensteinsource.org/ Wittgenstein Source]</span>). These documents are very helpful for researchers who need to dive into the depths of Wittgenstein, but they are difficult to approach for the general public. The Ludwig Wittgenstein Project is a repository of high-quality digital editions of Wittgenstein’s published works—including the ''Tractatus'' and the ''Philosophical Investigations''—in the original language and in translation.
+Excellent academic resources have existed for many years which provide a transcription of the ''Nachlass'' (<span class="plainlinks">[http://wab.uib.no/transform/wab.php?modus=opsjoner the Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen's Interactive Dinamic Presentation tool]</span>) and even scans of Wittgenstein's manuscripts (<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.wittgensteinsource.org/ Wittgenstein Source]</span>). These documents are very helpful for researchers who need to dive into the depths of Wittgenstein, but they are difficult to approach for the general public. The Ludwig Wittgenstein Project is a repository of high-quality digital editions of Wittgenstein’s writings that were published in book form—including the ''Tractatus'' and the ''Philosophical Investigations''. Original-language editions are available as well as translations. Please see the [[Project:All texts|All texts]] page for an up-to-date list.
 The Ludwig Wittgenstein Project provides complete, well-formatted, downloadable, free books in multiple languages. Our purpose is to remove the paywall that stands between the prospective reader and the texts and to make the texts available to anyone who cannot access a library.
-Wittgenstein's originals, as well as some of the translations, are in the public domain (see [[#Copyright|Copyright]] below), while the translations that were purpose-made for this site are available under <span class="plainlinks">[https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Creative Commons Attribution]</span> or <span class="plainlinks">[https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike]</span>.

 The Ludwig Wittgenstein Project, a not-for-profit endeavour, was started in late 2020 by Michele Lavazza and is currently run by a growing international community.
