The data collection of this project entails the processing of a range of documents, that reside in archives, primary and secondary literature. The researcher can have access to complete databases on a number of parameters right away. In some cases we also provide scans of the original documents, by way of example. The type of documents used differs from country to country, while the geographic scope of the data collection varies from institution to institution.
