How do we talk about love? How do we experience the moments of everyday life that are shaped by it? How do we describe the feelings associated with it, such as happiness, longing, sadness and suffering?
Project conclusion
The Citizen Science research project Gruß & Kuss – Briefe digital. Bürgerinnen erhalten Liebesbriefe , funded by the german Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF), has been researching and digitising private, authentic love letters from the love letter archive together and in close cooperation with scientists and citizens since 2021.
