The investigative encyclopedia
Concerning Archiopedia
In a nutshell: Archiopedia is a project of investigative encyclopedism.
Archiopedia is both an encyclopedia and a collection of digital archives.
The Archiopedists aim at producing periodically updated, concise and thought-provoking entries, based on original research and direct engagement with primary sources as well as secondary literature. At the same time, they try to digitize sources not yet available online and store born-digital materials on a variety of topics.
The term “archiopedia” blends the Latin archium (“archive”) and the suffix –pedia, both traced back to Ancient Greek ἄρχω (árkhō, “begin, lead, rule”) and παιδεία (paideíā, “education”). Ἀρχή (arkhè) and its derivatives capture the common root of action and thought.
