Digitization of medieval manuscripts of the Gotha Research Library

埃尔福特大学哥达研究图书馆对德国图书馆手稿遗产的数字化作出了贡献，将其重要藏品中的247份手稿数字化，包括总共525份中世纪手稿，并将其提供给研究人员。总共将制作83,800张数字图像。从图书馆的总馆藏中，那些在过去几十年里研究人员需求特别高的手稿集合将被数字化，从而通过德国研究基金会(DFG)的资金进行编目，或者根据清单程序在标准化简短版本的参数范围内进行描述。待处理的语料库包括(1)拉丁中世纪纸质手稿集合，(2)德语中世纪纸和羊皮纸手稿集合，(3)属于宗教改革手稿集合的中世纪手稿，以及(4)Maugérard手稿集合。根据DFG的指导方针和德国图书馆中世纪手稿数字化总体计划，数字化手稿将提供元数据和结构数据，并在埃尔福特/哥达数字历史图书馆展出。这些图像和信息还将传送到德国数字图书馆(DDB)、欧洲图书馆、媒体手稿和目前正在开发的手稿门户网站。该项目的所有成果都将免费和永久地获取(开放获取)并长期保存。通过该项目，哥达研究图书馆将继续对其最重要和最独特的藏品进行以研究为导向的数字化。

The Gotha Research Library of the University of Erfurt contributes to the digitization of the manuscript heritage in German libraries by digitizing 247 manuscripts from its significant collection encompassing a total of 525 Medieval manuscripts and making them available for research. A total of 83,800 digital images are to be produced. From the total holdings of the library, those collections of manuscripts are to be digitized which have been in particularly high demand by researchers in the past decades and thus catalogued through funds of the German Research Foundation (DFG) or which have been described within the parameters of the standardized short version according to the inventory list procedure. The corpus to be processed consists of (1) the collection of Latin Medieval paper manuscripts, (2) the collection of German-language Medieval paper and parchment manuscripts, (3) a Medieval manuscript belonging to the collection of Reformation manuscripts and (4) the collection of Maugérard manuscripts. According to the guidelines of the DFG and the Master Plan for the Digitization of Medieval Manuscripts in German Libraries, the digitized manuscripts will be provided with metadata and structural data and presented in the Digital Historical Library Erfurt/Gotha. The images and information will also be transferred to the German Digital Library (DDB), the Europeana, Manuscripta Mediaevalia and the Manuscript Portal currently being developed. All results of the project will be freely and permanently accessible (open access) and long-term preserved.With this project, the Gotha Research Library is continuing the research-oriented digitization of its most important and unique holdings.
