Digitization of medieval and early modern archival sources from Eastern Westphalia

瓦伦多夫地区档案馆和威斯特伐利亚区北莱茵-威斯特伐利亚地区档案馆(明斯特)共同打算将瓦伦多夫地区现有城镇的中世纪和早期现代文献数字化。其中包括阿伦、贝库姆、瓦伦多夫、欧尔德和弗雷克霍斯特的城镇档案。这些藏品可以追溯到12世纪。它们代表了威斯特伐利亚最东端的现代瓦伦多夫区内完整的当地手稿传统。瓦伦多夫地区档案馆的特点是其作为该地区几乎所有市镇的中心档案馆的特殊作用。由于历史转移，阿伦的全部档案和瓦伦多夫的一小部分档案保存在明斯特的地区档案馆。通过完全数字化和在线访问，档案藏品应虚拟地重新组合。需要数字化的藏品如下：-Stadt Ahlen(Coll.副局长。B 301/B301u，地区档案馆)，-Stadt Beckum(Coll.地区档案馆中的Stadt Beckum U BZW.A)-Stadt Warendorf(Col.B 307，地区档案馆)-WigburdOelde(Coll.地区档案馆中的Stadt Oelde U BZW.A)-WigboldFrecenhorst(Col.地区档案馆的文件包括1,239份文件(=77盒)和地区档案馆的2,961份文件(=224盒)。瓦伦多夫镇档案馆(作为地区档案馆的一部分)的大部分中世纪和早期现代文件已经通过联邦方案(Bundessicherungsverfilmung)数字化；区档案馆所有早期现代藏品的复古转换工作于2016年由地区档案馆政府资助。所有数字化项目将在项目成功完成后上线。数字化将由外部服务提供商实现。中世纪和早期现代文件的特点，需要在整个过程中进行彻底和仔细的处理。

Jointly, the Warendorf District Archives and the Regional Archives of North Rhine-Westphalia , Westphalian section (Münster), intend to digitize the medieval and early modern documents of the towns within the current Warendorf district. This includes the holdings of the town archives of Ahlen, Beckum, Warendorf, Oelde and Freckenhorst.The collections date back to the 12th century. They represent the complete local manuscript tradition within the modern-day Warendorf district, the easternmost part of Westphalia. The Warendorf district archives are characterized by their special role as a central archives for almost all municipalities of the district. Due to historical transfers, the complete Ahlen archives and a small part of the Warendorf archives are kept in the Regional Archives in Münster. Through a complete digitization and online access, the archival Collections shall be reunited virtually . The collections to be digitized are as follows:- Stadt Ahlen (Coll. Dep. B 301/B301u in the Regional Archives), - Stadt Beckum (Coll. Stadt Beckum U bzw. A in the District Archives)- Stadt Warendorf (Coll. B 307 in the Regional Archives)- Wigbold Oelde (Coll. Stadt Oelde U bzw. A in the District Archives)- Wigbold Freckenhorst (Coll. Amt Freckenhorst U bzw. A in the District Archives) The documents in the Regional Archives comprise 1,239 files (= 77 boxes) and in the District Archives 2,961 files (=224 boxes). The majority of the medieval and early modern documents from the Warendorf town archives (as part of the District Archives) have already been digitized through a Federal programme (Bundessicherungsverfilmung); the retro-conversion of all early modern collections of the District Archives has been funded by the DFG in 2016. All digitized items will be put online after a successful completion of the project.The digitization will be realized by an external service provider. The character of the medieval and early modern documents necessitates a thorough and careful handling throughout the whole process.
