Cataloging of Oriental Manuscripts in Germany (KOHD)
no time limit
The "Cataloging of Oriental Manuscripts in Germany" (KOHD) was founded in 1957 by Wolfgang Voigt in agreement with the German Oriental Society and at the suggestion of German Oriental Studies. It was financed by the German Research Foundation until 1989. Since 1990 it has continued as a research project of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen; the planned completion date is 2022. The task of the project is to record manuscripts in Oriental scripts and languages from German libraries and collections that have not yet been catalogued and to make them accessible in printed catalogs. Catalogs have been and are being published in the Directory of Oriental Manuscripts in Germany (VOHD), edited by the project leader on behalf of the Academy of Sciences and published by Franz Steiner Verlag Stuttgart. Since 2016, cataloging has been done predominantly in databases.

1050 – 1350
As a period dictionary, the Middle High German Dictionary (MWB) indexes the vocabulary and word usage of the entire spectrum of German-language texts written in the period from 1050 to 1350.

Papsturkunden des frühen und hohen Mittelalters (Papal Documents of the Early and High Middle Ages)
1st - 13th c.
Link to project
The Regesta Pontificum Romanorum Online (RPR Online) aims to make all papal contacts up to the year 1198 accessible in a database. Using the publications of the Göttingen Papsturkundenwerk (link to https://adw-goe.de/forschung/forschungsprojekte-akademienprogramm/papsturkunden-des-fruehen-und-hohen-mittelalters/) and the new edition of Jaffé (3rd edition), the aim is to provide researchers with a central guide to questions of papal action from antiquity to the high Middle Ages. To date, slightly more than 6,000 registers have been made available, with a focus on the period before the 10th century. The database offers numerous search options and facilitates bibliographic access by linking to the OPAC of the Regesta Imperii (http://opac.regesta-imperii.de/lang_de/). The platform also contains retro-digitized copies of many older volumes of registers and, in some cases, images of the relevant documents.

Residential cities in the Holy Roman Empire
1300–1800
The online portal of the project, which is currently under construction, serves the public accessibility of the research results compiled in three departments, which will be published in a ten-volume handbook. The main focus is on the analytical-systematic articles of Department I, in which the approximately 900 residential towns of the Old Kingdom are recorded as completely as possible, technically prepared for the digital offer. The following will be offered: - a comfortable full-text search with close linking of the individual articles, which will also be made available as PDF files; - a cartographic view, which allows the localization of the individual place, but also makes the spatial distribution of the residence towns visible; - a timeline, which provides information about the occurrence of residence towns at different times; - a link to the online offer of the predecessor project "Courts and Residences".

Scholarly Journals and Newspapers of the Enlightenment
18th c.
The research database "Gelehrte Journale und Zeitungen" (Scholarly Journals and Newspapers) is based on the as of yet most comprehensive systematic indexing project on German-language scholarly periodicals of the 18th century.

Currently, the research database offers the possibility to narrow down a simple search using various filter functions. In addition, the journal corpus or the contemporary subject classification system can be used as direct search entry points.
