Cel The project aims at the completion of the following volumes, or at least their textual sections, of the Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (MEGA): Vol. II/11 (Marx's manuskripts for Book II of Das Kapital), Vol. III/11 (Correspondence June 1860 - December 1861), Vol. III/12 (Correspondence January 1862 - September 1864), Vol. III/14 (Correspondence January 1866 - December 1867) and Vol. IV/28 (Excerpts and Notes 1879 - 1882). Also, the work on the database for the letters from/to Marx and Engels is to be continued.The idea of a historical-critical edition of the complete writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels had emerged even before 1914. Work on the "first" MEGA was started in the 1920s. The project was suppressed in the 30s. A fresh start was made in the late 60s. The first volumes of the "second" MEGA were published in 1975. After the "Wende" in the GDR many historians, philosophers and social scientists throughout the world were anxious lest the "second" MEGA, whose merits were generally recognized (the German Wissenschaftsrat, too, recommended ist continuation), fall victim to De-Stalinization, just as the "first" MEGA fell victim to Stalinist terror in the USSR and Nazi terror in Germany. There is broad agreement with the view that Marx and Engels, notwithstanding the role attributed to them by the ideologues of "actually existing socialism", are of undiminished interest as major thinkers of their time. As early as January 1990, the International Institute of Social History (IISH) in Amsterdam, which holds the major part of Marx and Engel's manuscripts, took the initiative in efforts to prevent the project being discontinued.Agreement was reached on two principles: a) the project could only be realized within a broad international framework; b) all political objectives would be abandoned. In October 1990 the International Marx-Engel's Foundation (IMEF) was established.The IMEF, with its headquarters in Amsterdam, has become an international network. It is based primarily on the IISH, the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften (BBAW) in Berlin, the Karl-Marx-Haus (KMH) of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Trier and two Russian institutions, the Rossiiskii tsentr khraneniia i izucheniia dokumentov noveishei istorii (RTsKhIDNI) and the Rossiiskii nazavisimyi institut sotsial'nykh i natsionalnykh problem (RNISNP), both in Moscow. According to its statutes the main task of the IMEF is to continue the publication of the MEGA. For this purpose a board, a secretariat, an editorial commission and an academic advisory board were set up. Since 1994 the IMEF has published its own journal, MEGA-Studien.The editorial commission's first priority was to re-examine the series guidelines for the MEGA. Furthermore, the editorial commission examined to what extent the project could be tightened up. The number of volumes was reduced to 114.At present there are MEGA teams working on individual volumes in Germany, Russia, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, the USA and Japan. As for the funding of their work, the two Russian teams still are dependent on financial support from outside Russia. If the MEGA is to be continued, existing capacities should be used to the full. The Russian collaborators on the project are very well qualified for their work.The editorial work on a MEGA volume comprises the following steps: preparatory work; collecting the relevant literature; recording the documents to be included in the volume; tracing the version of the individual documents to be used as basic text; establishing the author(s) of the individual documents; research on dubiosa; deciphering the manuscripts; reproduction of the texts according to the editorial principles of the MEGA; listing corrections and variants; comprehensive explanatory annotation; writing accounts of the fate and condition of the individual texts; production of the required indices; writing a general introduction to the volume.The MEGA volumes to be completed by the Russian teams are required to meet the highest standards of historical-critical editing.
