The ''Nachlass'' contains approximately 3000 graphics and figures. Until 2022, these were represented in the Bergen ''Nachlass'' editions either as character transcriptions, facsimile snippets or redrawn visuals stemming from different sources. In this task, the WAB had received invaluable help from its transcribers and editors as well as from Michael R. Biggs and, since 2014, from Hans Biesenbach as well. | The ''Nachlass'' contains approximately 3000 graphics and figures.

In 2022, on the initiative of Alois Pichler, director of the WAB, the WAB and Michele Lavazza, coordinator of the [https://wittgensteinproject.org/ Ludwig Wittgenstein Project], started a cooperation intended to redraw all graphics and figures that then were represented by redrawn visuals or facsimile snippets, following a uniform style in "normalized" format. With funding from the WAB, the project lasted from October 2022 to April 2024 and resulted in the recreation of [[Statistics|approximately 1000 image files]] which were embedded in the transcriptions (and thus incorporated in the public sites) as they became available. The drawings were made by Michele Lavazza and graphic designer Sara Lavazza under the supervision and coordination of Alois Pichler. Precious help and consultancy was provided by Michael Biggs, Rune Falch, and Daphne Bielefeld. | In 2022, on the initiative of Alois Pichler, director of the WAB, the WAB and Michele Lavazza, coordinator of the [https://wittgensteinproject.org/ Ludwig Wittgenstein Project], started a cooperation intended to redraw all graphics and figures that then were represented by redrawn visuals or facsimile snippets, following a uniform style in "normalized" format.

It soon started to seem desirable that the image files should also become available – ''i.e.'', browsable and searchable – in and of themselves, and not only as an integral part of the manuscripts. Thus, Michele Lavazza built this website ([[Main Page|{{SITENAME}}]]) to host the files and used data from the WAB's XML transcriptions, combined with a database-like infrastructure powered by [https://semantic-mediawiki.org Semantic MediaWiki], to make it possible to search and filter them by description tags as well as by manuscript number. In this task, he received help from Frederic Kettelhoit and continued working in cooperation with Alois Pichler. | It soon started to seem desirable that the image files should also become available – ''i.e.'', browsable and searchable – in and of themselves, and not only as an integral part of the manuscripts.
