Dear all, In case you haven't come across it yet, I'd like to draw your attention to a feature of the IFS website: The Frege Archive. The aim of the Archive is to provide a comprehensive and easily accessible resource for Frege scholarship. At the moment, it contains links to (almost) all of Frege's published writings in the original German, gathered in one place. I hope it may be useful both to established scholars and to students encountering Frege's work for the first time. The Archive is very much a work in progress. We'd like to continue expanding and improving it, perhaps by adding searchable PDFs, English translations where available, and other resources that might be useful for the study of Frege's writings. If you have ideas about features that would be helpful, we'd be delighted to hear them. You can find the Archive here: https://www.fregesociety.org/resources/archive/ I'd also be very grateful for corrections, suggestions, and additions. In particular, a few of Frege's writings are still missing from the Archive. If you know of online versions that should be included, or if you have PDFs that could potentially be made available through the site, please let us know. Comments, suggestions, and materials can be sent either to the mailing list or directly to: webmaster@fregesociety.org <mailto:webmaster@fregesociety.org> Many thanks, and I hope some of you will find the Archive useful. Best wishes, Günther

Personally, I'd like to see the Archive also include citation graph data for Frege and his peers and colleagues. I'd love to be able to see at a glance e.g. all the places that Frege cites Hankel's *Vorlesungen*, or all the works Frege cites in *Grundlagen*, and how often. (This is not technically very difficult; it just requires a lot of data entry. If anyone already has such data and is willing to share it, please contact me off-list!) Best, Richard
Thank you for the useful list of links. The entries Function und Begriff und “Über die Zahlen des Herrn H. Schubert”. [Sonderdruck / Separatdruck] sollten jedoch beide in kursiv gesetzt sein mit dem Hinweis. Verlag von Hermann Pohle (dasselbe wie bei Grundgesetze 1 und 2) Es sind keine Sonderdrucke und auch keine Separatdrucke, sondern separate, also selbständige Veröffentlichungen.

Thanks, Tabea! I added OCR and uploaded it to the site. If anyone can provide PDFs of the other missing works, please send them to webmaster@fregesociety.org. -- Best, Richard
Günther, Thanks for the request. I was wondering if you want only German, or also translations.

Indeed. We can't post PDFs if they're not open access, but we can add links. E.g. some of the English translations were originally published as articles which are now on JSTOR; we can add links to those. We'd welcome the same for translations in other languages. We can also add links to pages where the translation collections can be purchased.

Posted, thanks! There's only one work left for which we don't yet have a source: 1912. “(Anmerkungen zu) Philip E. B.

Hi Richard, I was able to access it. Even after deleting all the pages except the Jourdain article, the pdf is still incredibly large (23 MB).

I was able to access it.
Posted, thanks! I removed the front matter pages in case those are still under copyright, and a couple of pages after the end of the article, but alas, it didn't reduce the size much. Jourdain, Frege, and Peano were all dead by 1936, so as far as I can tell, their copyright has expired (both in the US, where the PDF was made, and in Germany, where our website is hosted) and we should be able to share it. -- Best, Richard
Yes, Robert, we want everything! As I see it, the long-term goal should be to make the Archive as comprehensive as possible and to include Frege's works in all available languages. As Riki and Richard pointed out, the main constraint is copyright. Now that the semester is almost over, I should finally have some time to look into these issues more carefully and see what is feasible. Best, Günther
