Digitisation of a historical core collection: The „Stadtarchiv Mainzer Zeit“ in the Stadt- und Stiftsarchiv Aschaffenburg (Archives of the town and monastery of Aschaffenburg)

该项目的目的是将中央历史文物--所谓的“Stadtarchiv Mainzer Zeit”(SMZ)数字化，保存在Stadt-und StiftsArchiv中，从而使研究人员能够访问和了解它。自2020年11月以来，申请机构正在根据档案标准(约2500至3000个单位和描述性条目)系统地描述馆藏情况。“Stadtarchiv Mainzer Zeit”将被视为具有超区域重要性的独特历史收藏。到项目结束时，整个原始语料库对许多研究问题，特别是与早期现代史有关的问题非常重要，然后将通过跨区域数字平台，如DDB和档案门户网站-D，供人们查阅。该项目框架内计划的数字化不仅将侧重于Stadt-und StiftsArchiv档案的档案“骨干收藏”，以及它对选举美因茨其他收藏的许多参考，而且还可以更有效地使用和研究系列资料。鉴于阿沙芬堡作为美因茨选举人故居的重要性，并考虑到对档案材料的陌生，可以假定用户的兴趣在未来将显著增加。今后，这一活动将成为传播美因茨选举遗产书面遗产的重要内容，以便在德国各档案馆改进美因茨藏品的联网和协调展示。结束性讲习班不仅有助于提供有关项目本身及其成果的信息，还将有助于促进负责保存与选举美因茨有关的财产的研究人员和机构之间的联系。

The project’s aim is to digitise a central historic holding, the so-called „Stadtarchiv Mainzer Zeit“ (SMZ), which is kept in the Stadt- und Stiftsarchiv and thus make it accessible and known to researchers. Since November 2020, the applicant institution is systematically describing the holding according to archival standards (around 2 500 to 3 000 units and descriptive entries). The „Stadtarchiv Mainzer Zeit“ is to be considered as unique historic collection of supra-regional importance. By the end of the project, the entire source corpus, which is important for numerous research questions, especially related to early modern history, will then be made accessible via supra-regional digital platforms, such as DDB and Archivportal-D. The planned digitisation within the framework of the project will not only focus on an archival „backbone collection“ of the Stadt- und Stiftsarchiv with its many references to other collections of Electoral Mainz, but in addition the serial sources can also be used and researched much more effectively. In accordance with the considerable importance of Aschaffenburg as a former residence of Electoral Mainz and in view of the unfamiliarity of the archival material, it can be assumed that user interest will increase significantly in the future. In the future, the holding will form an important element in the context of transmitting the written heritage of Electoral Mainz for an improved networked and coordinated presentation of the Mainz holdings in various German archives. A concluding workshop will not only contribute to providing information about the project itself and its results but will also help serve to further the networking of researchers and institutions responsible for the preservation of the holdings related to Electoral Mainz.
