• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 420460051

The source corpus to be indexed in the project and to be made available to research in an innovative way is characterized by its very high historical significance, while the materials themselves belong to very different genres, which makes their use considerably more difficult for historical research. Therefore, different indexing standards (archival, library, audio-musicological) are to be applied. The aim of the project is to fully index and develop this corpus and present it in a contextualized and interconnected way. Due to the resulting networked development of content-homogeneous, but externally very different sources, it can claim pilot character for itself. As a result, the entire stock is to be made available to the research as a unit of "interconnected sources". With the provision of approx. 25,000 units of data in the ARCINSYS database for the archives and HEBIS for the library items with their portal interfaces (DDB, Europeana, for the archival estates also: Kalliope), the best possible findability of the collection is ensured for all those looking in overarching portals. In addition, the data is contextualized and interconnected via a research application that has already been specifically programmed for the DFG-funded project "Julius Groß". In addition, the increasingly demanded provision via pertinence instead of - as required in archives - the provenance is promoted.
