The project aims at the digitisation and online presentation of central archival sources related to German colonial history, to the history of the Weimar republic and to German film history. Thanks to the online presentation of the digitised material, researchers will have worldwide access to these sources at any time instead of being obliged to visit the reading room in order to analyse these sources. In addition to that, there won’t be any costs for the reproduction of the documents they are particularly interested in. Making accessible the Federal Archives’ sources and metadata within transregional research systems such as the Archives Portal Europe will further facilitate a search which is not limited to one particular institution. Finally, the online presentation of the archival sources offers the opportunity of easily reviewing or verifying references in scholarly works from anywhere in the world.The project’s core challenges are the digitising process itself, quality management, ingest of digitised data into the digital repository and the online presentation via the Federal Archives’ research system. Funding is only requested for the digitisation itself.The total amount of archival units to be digitised in the course of the project is approximately 54,000. That means that around 3.16 millions of digital images could be made easily accessible for research.

该项目旨在数字化和在线展示与德国殖民历史、魏玛共和国历史和德国电影史有关的中央档案资料。由于数字化材料的在线展示，研究人员将可以在任何时候在世界各地访问这些来源，而不是被迫访问阅览室来分析这些来源。除此之外，他们特别感兴趣的文件的复制不会有任何成本。使联邦档案馆的资料来源和元数据可在欧洲档案馆门户等跨区域研究系统内查阅，将进一步便利不限于某一特定机构的检索。最后，档案来源的在线展示提供了一个机会，可以轻松地审查或核实来自世界任何地方的学术著作中的参考文献。该项目的核心挑战是数字化过程本身、质量管理、将数字化数据摄取到数字储存库以及通过联邦档案馆的研究系统在线展示。只为数字化本身申请资金，在项目过程中需要数字化的档案单位总数约为54,000个。这意味着，大约316万张数字图像可以很容易地用于研究。
