The Papers are presented in the original German with in-depth English language annotation and editorial scholarly commentary.

The Einstein database launches with 16 volumes in both the original German and in English translation, spanning nearly 18,000 pages and covering Einstein's life and work through 1930.

As the database evolves, annual updates will deliver Einstein’s writings, public statements, and correspondence up to his death in 1955. These volumes draw on Einstein’s writings and correspondence from the Albert Einstein Archives at Hebrew University, along with over 40,000 additional documents uncovered by researchers since the 1980s.

This ambitious database will eventually include over 30 volumes of Einstein’s writing and correspondence curated by the editors at the Einstein Papers Project, and additional scholarship from Princeton University Press.
