Cataloguing and Online-Publication of Architectural Drawings from the Hessian State Archives in Marburg

马尔堡黑森州国家档案馆 (HStAM) 的地图部门（总共约 230,000 张地图）的历史可以追溯到 16 世纪，不仅包括主要的地籍和野外地图，还包括大量建筑图纸清单（约 9,000 件物品），其中尚未数字化，并且迄今为止尚未根据一致的系统进行编目。大多数图纸描绘了城市中的主要建筑项目，这些城市曾经是黑森州君主的住所，但也描绘了前黑森-卡塞尔州所有地区的建筑结构。这些图纸记录了各种结构、其设计随时间的发展，以及施工过程中的手工和技术方面。通过 HStAM 和 Deutsches Dokumentationszentrum für Kunstgeschichte ¿ Bildarchiv Foto Marburg（DDK — 德国艺术史文献中心马尔堡摄影图像档案馆）之间的合作，从现代早期到二十世纪初的建筑图纸将被数字化、编目和出版在线 Bildindex der Kunst und Architektur（艺术和建筑图像索引）。此外，它们将与许多其他合作伙伴组织的数字库存和图像（建筑照片、绘画和图形艺术中的建筑描绘）相关联。同时，数字副本将在 HStAM 的基于网络的档案信息系统 Arcinsys 中在相应的档案记录中发布。还计划向Archivportal-D（德国档案门户）、Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek（德国数字图书馆）和Europeana 提供元数据和图像。在互联网上发布将允许免费访问库存和数字，而这些库存和数字迄今为止很难在研究中使用。因其对艺术和建筑史的重要性而被选中的 2,000 张建筑图纸将被更深入地编目，记录建筑历史之外的图纸背景的附加信息，以便能够深入了解与艺术和建筑史相关的重要问题。到目前为止，德国国家档案馆中还没有以这种形式提供的完整的建筑图纸数字目录。然而，公共档案馆中的图纸和计划清单特别重要，因为它们记录了国家的活动。享有盛誉的代表性与国家地位之间的功能联系在公共项目的建筑图纸中尤其明显。此外，他们通过参与建筑管理的机构直至正式存储在政府档案中所遵循的程序路径是可以追踪的。

The Map Department of the Hessian State Archives in Marburg (HStAM) (a total of approx. 230,000 maps) dates back to the sixteenth century and includes not only cadastral and field maps which are predominant, but also a significant inventory of architectural drawings (approx. 9,000 objects) of which none have been digitized and which are not catalogued according to a consistent system so far. The majority of the drawings depict major building projects in cities which were formerly residences of the Hessian sovereigns, but also architectural constructions in all regions of the former Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel. The drawings document various kinds of structures, the development of their designs through time, as well as manual and technical aspects of the construction process.Through a collaboration between the HStAM and the Deutsches Dokumentationszentrum für Kunstgeschichte ¿ Bildarchiv Foto Marburg (DDK ¿ the Marburg photographic image archives of the German documentation center for art history) architectural drawings from the early modern period to the beginning of the twentieth century will be digitized, catalogued and published online in the Bildindex der Kunst und Architektur (image index of art and architecture). Furthermore, they will be linked to digital inventories and images from many other partner organizations (architectural photographs, architectural depictions in paintings and graphic art). At the same time, the digital copies will be published in the web-based archival informationsystem Arcinsys of the HStAM in the context of corresponding archival records. There are also plans to supply the metadata and images to the Archivportal-D (German Archival Portal), as well as to the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (German Digital Library) and the Europeana. Posting on the internet will enable free access to the inventories and digitals, which have hitherto been difficult to use in research.In a second step, approx. 2,000 architectural drawings chosen for their significance to the history of art and architecture will be catalogued in greater depth, recording additional information on the context of the drawings beyond the building history in order to enable insights into important questions related to the history of art and architecture.As of now, there is no digital catalogue of the complete fond of architectural drawings in a German state archives available in this form. Yet the inventories of drawings and plans in public archives are of particular relevance because they document the activities of the state. The functional connection between prestigious representation and statehood is especially obvious in the architectural drawings of public projects. Moreover, the procedural paths they follow through institutions involved in building administration up to the point that they are officially stored in a governmental archives can be traced.
