Archive "Deutsches Gedächtnis" of the Fernuniversität Hagen - The archive "Deutsches Gedächtnis" archives subjective memoirs such as life history interviews, autobiographies, diaries and collections of letters from a wide variety of people relating to socio-political events in Germany and German history. They come from both Germany and abroad. Accordingly, the documents are predominantly in German.
Brandenburg Main State Archive The Brandenburg Main State Archive is a state archive, or more precisely: a state archive. State archives take over and preserve important documents and records from the administration of their federal state, from the ministries, courts and other authorities. These include contracts, files, deeds, photos, maps and much more. These documents are unique. This means that they only exist once as originals. Together, they form the written heritage of the state.We are responsible for the state of Brandenburg within its current borders, but also for its legal predecessors. These are, for example, the Prussian province of Brandenburg or the GDR districts of Potsdam, Frankfurt (Oder) and Cottbus. The remit also includes the archive records of imperial and federal authorities with exclusively regional responsibility in the state of Brandenburg.Federal Archives - Direct access to the online holdings of the Federal Archives
Clio-Online was initiated as a DFG project in 2001 by researchers at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin together with cooperation partners from libraries, archives and non-university research institutions. The aim was to develop centralised information services for the historical sciences. The project began work at the beginning of May 2002 and was funded by the German Research Foundation until 2007. Since the end of 2007, the organisation "Clio-online - Historisches Fachinformationssystem e.V." has been responsible for the project. This supporting organisation is actively and financially supported by the founding members and numerous other historical research institutions and private individuals. Today, Clio-online is a portal and supporting organisation for various specialist information services for historians, historians working in the historical sciences and the interested public.

Specialised information services for science: The aim of specialised information services is to provide scientists with fast and direct access to specialist literature and research-relevant information. As research-supporting infrastructures, specialised information services offer a primarily digital and location-independent supply of information oriented towards the special needs of scientific subjects, supplementing the local offerings of universities and research institutions.

Jewish History Online This portal offers a bilingual (German/English) platform for meta-searches in various digital projects in the field of Jewish history. It makes thematically relevant content from different project organisers searchable on a common interface. The hit list as a digital overview of virtual and real sources and research data stored at different locations not only enables easier access to small databases or editions, it can also offer new perspectives on one's own research question and provides impulses for (quantitative) methods of the digital humanities.
