Research projects:
"Digitale Kartenwerkstatt Altes Reich" (DigiKAR) - Digital Map Lab Holy Roman Empire
The interdisciplinary project »Digital Map Lab Holy Roman Empire (DigiKAR)« develops and explores concepts for the collection, modelling and visualization of place-based historical information from the early modern Holy Roman Empire. It thus contributes both to historical research on the Holy Roman Empire as a space of divided and overlapping rule and to the further development of digital analysis and visualization of historical data with spatio-temporal characteristics.
NFDI4Memory
NFDI4Memory is one of several consortia within Germany that will jointly manage the creation of a long-term and sustainable research data infrastructure (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur, or “NFDI”) for the digital age. It brings together partners united by a common set of interests, needs, and aims related to the distinct challenges faced by those disciplines that use historical methods or that rely on data requiring historical contextualization.
