Tomasek has been Primary Investigator on a Start-Up grant from the Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities (2011), a Bilateral Digital Humanities grant from the NEH and the German Research Foundation (2015), and a planning grant under a joint initiative of the National Historic Publications and Records Commission and the Andrew W.

The implementation grant for the latter went to the Center for Digital Editing at the University of Virginia and to the Center for Information Modelling, Austrian Center for Digital Humanities, at the University of Graz.

Landon Elkind, Treasurer
Landon D. C. Elkind is Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science at Western Kentucky University. His current research focuses on the Principia Rewrite project; part of this research includes the difficult editorial task of digitizing, re-typesetting, and creating a critical edition of Principia Mathematica, a three-volume, 1,992-page work that includes more writing in logical symbolism than in English. This new edition is under contract with Cambridge University Press, and the first re-done volume is expected to appear in 2025. The reason he is interested in becoming more involved in and contributing to the ADE is because he has already learned a good deal about documentary editing from the ADE’s major guides to documentary editing and he wants to keep updated on best editorial practices and new techniques. He is currently treasurer of the Bertrand Russell Society and was previously treasurer of the Society for the Study of the History of Analytical Philosophy.
