The overall goal of TEXTUS is to provide an open-source platform through which scholars and students are able to re-use the vast and expanding amount of digitised cultural heritage material now available through portals such as the Internet Archive, Wikisource and Project Gutenberg. The aim is to enable scholarly communities to easily establish their own instances of TEXTUS catering to their specific community and to enable developers to easily extend the platform itself and develop other apps and services for it.
