Lübeck Brahms portal goes online
The Brahms Institute at the Lübeck University of Music (MHL) houses a collection on Brahms and his environment that is unique in the world. It is now available to the public digitally.
The Lübeck holdings have been digitally recorded and semantically networked according to the latest standards. The focus is on the musical oeuvre: based on the objects in the collection, a large number of scholarly texts have been written that shed new light on the background to their creation and publication. Almost twenty authors from the German-speaking musicology community have dealt with the objects in the Lübeck collection.
As a lighthouse project for digitization, the Brahms Portal was financed by the structural and excellence budget of the state of Schleswig-Holstein and the Possehl Foundation Lübeck with 800,000 euros. All content is open access and based on the FAIR principles, according to which research data is recorded sustainably. Around 10,000 data records have already been linked in this way. The collection is not yet complete, but will be successively continued in the future.
