Indexing and cataloguing of photographical holdings in the German Literature Archive

德国文学档案馆(DLA)拥有全球最重要的德国文学收藏之一。它是一个著名的机构，致力于收集德国作家的遗产，并将这些发现提供给公众。收藏的中心部分是由1.450多名作家和学者的遗产组成的。除了手稿和其他文字用具外，这些遗产通常还包括大量的照片、绘画和其他物品，这些物品往往与作者的文学作品密切相关。在“Bilder und Objekte”部门(图像和物体)，这些遗骸被归档和编目，最终可供进一步研究。在这方面特别令人感兴趣的是照片集(地点或文学主题)，这些照片往往揭示了图像和作品之间以前不为人知的联系。拟议的项目旨在索引和编目著名作家的私人照片集，如阿德勒、戈特弗里德·本、阿尔弗雷德·多布林、克莱尔和伊万·高尔尔、沃尔特·哈森克利弗、赫尔曼·黑斯、恩斯特·荣格、玛丽·路易斯·卡施尼茨、哈里·格拉夫·凯斯勒、西格弗里德·克拉考尔、梅赫蒂尔德·利奇诺夫斯基、阿瑟·施尼茨勒、库尔特·图霍尔斯基、阿明·T·韦格纳和卡尔·扎克迈尔以及卡尔·贾斯珀斯和彼得·桑松迪等学者的遗产。

The DLA (Archive of German Literature) holds one of the most important collections of German literature worldwide. It is renowned as an institution dedicated both to collecting the estates of German authors as well as to making these findings accessible to the public. The centre-piece of the collection is formed by the estates of over 1.450 authors and scholars. Aside from manuscripts and other textual paraphernalia these estates often contain extensive collections of photographs, paintings, and other objects which are often closely linked to the author’s literary work. At the department „Bilder und Objekte“ (Images and Objects), these remains are filed and catalogued and eventually made available for further study. Of particular interest in this respect are the collections of photographs (of places or literary themes) which often reveal previously unknown connection between image and oeuvre. The proposed project aims at indexing and cataloguing the private photograph collections of renowned authors such as H. G. Adler, Gottfried Benn, Alfred Döblin, Claire und Yvan Goll, Walter Hasenclever, Hermann Hesse, Ernst Jünger, Marie Luise Kaschnitz, Harry Graf Kessler, Siegfried Kracauer, Mechtilde Lichnowsky, Arthur Schnitzler, Kurt Tucholsky, Armin T. Wegner und Carl Zuckmayer as well as the estates of scholars like Karl Jaspers and Peter Szondi.
