  abstract  = {The difficult publication history and expensive editions of Alexander von Humboldt's volumes on the expedition to the Americas have resulted in incomplete library holdings which has limited scholarly access and sometimes caused unbalanced scholarship. A plan for a Humboldt Digital Library examines the structures and features of this representational system in print and proposes models for converting these materials to electronic form. Several issues posed by Humboldt's works include: establishing authoritative standard editions in several languages, creating high-resolution access to the many visual innovations in the works, and using software to restore the grand concept that all of the separate disciplines of study can be seen as interrelated parts of the whole. Using techniques of geographic visualization, a prototype is planned which will connect this historical body of knowledge with modern scientific databases.},

  abstract  = {Alexander von Humboldt's descriptions of volcanic mountains in his travel journals (Reise auf dem R{\´i}o Magdalena, durch die Anden und Mexico) show both his reliance on and impatience with literary conventions and travel narratives. Using Goethe's Italienische Reise and B{\"u}rger's M{\"u}nchhausen as points of comparison for literary treatments of the volcano ascent, Humboldt's process of writing is examined. Humboldt shows the failure of the existing discourse and begins to experiment with narratives which fragment and recombine personal and historical modes of writing with, in this case, images from new technical inventions which visualize landscape according to fundamental scientific principles. While the inclusion of scientific prose is relevant, Humboldt's link to modernity is based on experimental narrative techniques which draw upon changing sets of discourse practices to describe complex realities.},
