The principles of the Logic Museum are

To provide material as close to the original source as possible (critical editions, transcriptions, manuscripts).
To widen the knowledge of medieval logic and philosophy by the use of
- translations;
- clear and accessible summarisation of the primary material.
To classify the authority of a source by provenance or forms of editorial review.
To make all material searchable by means of
- markup ('anchors') and semantic tagging
- standardised Latin spelling
To encourage scholars to participate by
- incentives such as ‘ownership’ (or shared ownership) of areas of the Museum
- a congenial and user-friendly editing environment and platform.
