Samenvatting
Contemporary writers largely work in a digital environment, yet the implications of this
practice on textual scholarship is understudied. The digital self-archiving practices of authors
vary widely and do not default to creating versions. (Buschenhenke, 2016) In the project Track
Changes we have collected experimental data from eleven Dutch and Flemish authors. Using
keystroke logging (Leijten & Van Waes, 2013), they recorded their digital work process while
writing short stories. This corpus has allowed us to design a new visualisation using XML-TEI,
which showcases the textual histories and allows for an analysis of the writers’ actions through
time. (Bekius 2021; 2023) In this paper we will discuss one case study that makes use of this
edition to classify the revisions made by three of the writers. Much of textual dynamics was
found to take place during the composition of new sentences and on text that was written earlier
in the same writing session. This indicates that compared to archival documents, the keystroke
files reveal much more of the writing, and thus both forensic and experimental methods are
crucial in securing the evidence of writing in the 21st century. (Varasi, 2019; Ries, 2021)
