Lübeck Brahms portal in preparation
The Brahms Institute in Lübeck wants to launch a freely accessible online platform with a "Brahms Portal". It will link 43,000 digital copies and provide open access to the collection at the Lübeck University of Music (MHL).
Over a three-year project period, a team of musicologists, musicologists and IT experts will semantically process the cultural heritage and enrich it with scientifically sound information on Brahms' works. The focus is on a networked list of works in which all sources in the collection are linked in terms of content.
The heart of the Brahms Institute, founded in 1991, is the extensive collection of sources on Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897) and his environment. Technical and library standards make it possible to connect to the Digitale Kulturwerk Lübeck, the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek and Europeana, among others.
The project is being realized with a total of 800,000 euros in funding from the Excellence and Structural Budget of the state of Schleswig-Holstein and the Lübeck Possehl Foundation. The portal is due to go online in 2025.
