As a digital scholarly publication, _Secrets of Craft and Nature in Renaissance France. A Digital Critical Edition and English Translation of BnF Ms. Fr. 640_ aims to make all online content openly and sustainably available. The creation of the Edition by the Making and Knowing Project employed evolving approaches and methodologies to facilitate the multifaceted collaborative research process. At the same time, the digital development of the Edition has prioritized the generation and preservation of all Project data in sustainable, open formats to ensure adherence to open-access and open-source standards wherever possible. This commitment is founded on the conviction that the Edition should serve as a resource to a wide and diverse audience, enabling knowledge exchange now and into the future.

The focus on sustainability is guided by the principles of [minimal computing](https://go-dh.github.io/mincomp/about/) which emphasize durability and the use of basic technologies and workflows that have a greater likelihood of persisting. The Edition relies upon a common and well-established technology stack: HTML/HTML5 with CSS and JavaScript served statically from a webserver. Until the Edition is archived for long-term preservation, infrastructure and content assets are developed and maintained using Apache HTTP Server, React JavaScript Library, Github, AWS CloudFront and S3, and DigitalOcean virtual servers. Data format and storage decisions are chosen for their ability to be readily transformed to multiple target formats, and content is routinely exported and converted to open standard formats.
