GLOTREC - Research and Digitisation

Academics in the GLOTREC networks have collaboratively developed two framework projects which implement and evaluate the research services – predominantly the GLOTREC|Cat for the time being. These processes are vital for orienting the (further) development of our services towards our international users.  When searching for additional source material in the field of educational media, the group were able to identify further collections, including already digitised material, which could potentially be integrated into GLOTREC. The GEI will itself explore questions of integration, standardisation and enhancement of digitised source materials and will test how digital analysis tools perform with historical source material by applying conceptual and cultural-historical questions.

Research-based Digitisation

The GLOTREC partner institutions are digitising educational media in the course of their projects, both collaboratively and independently, in line with the DFG's 2022 code of practice  for ‘Digitisation’. When the research projects conclude in 2024, this digitised material (images and full-texts) will be made available in open access formats and will complement the Institute's digitised holdings currently available in GEI-Digital.

For further information on the projects or digitised material, please contact us at the following address: lcg-glotrec@gei.de.
