== Willkommen ==
The Gotha Illuminati Research Base is a project of the [http://www.uni-erfurt.de/forschungszentrum-gotha/ Gotha Research Centre], a sub unit of the University of Erfurt University.


...auf den Seiten des &mdash; im Aufbau befindlichen &mdash; Illuminaten-Wikis des [http://www.uni-erfurt.de/forschungszentrum-gotha/ Forschungszentrums Gotha] der Universität Erfurt.
The Database with its network of document pages of transcripts and commentary began as a regular MediaWiki in the DFG funded project "[[FactGrid:Illuminatenaufsätze im Kontext der Spätaufklärung: Ein unbekanntes Quellenkorpus|Illuminati Essays]]" conducted by [[User:Markus Meumann|Markus Meumann]] and [[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] under the supervision of [[User:Martin Mulsow|Martin Mulsow]].


Ihren Anschub wird unsere Datenbank in den nächsten Jahren als Teil des von der DFG geförderten Forschungsprojekts [[Projekt:Illuminatenaufsätze im Kontext der Spätaufklärung: Ein unbekanntes Quellenkorpus|Illuminatenaufsätze im Kontext der Spätaufklärung: Ein unbekanntes Quellenkorpus]] unter der Leitung von Prof. [[User:Martin Mulsow|Martin Mulsow]] erhalten.
The original platform was extremely successful with all its technical constraints &mdash; it could only speak German, all information had to be arranged manually. Yet, we were delighted that the pages quickly inspired the entire community of Illuminati research to join. Everyone doing work in the field contacted us with the wish to have an account on the platform.


Wir beabsichtigen, Forschungsprojekten zum Illuminatenorden einen gemeinsamen Ort zu bieten und einen Datenpool aufzubauen, in dem sich Projekte unabhängig voneinander vernetzen und wechselseitig von ihren Ergebnissen profitieren können.
[[User:Hermann Schüttler|Hermann Schüttler]] gave the platform its a central prosopographic structure with pages he created for all the members he had previously documented in his ''Die Mitglieder des Illuminatenordens, 1776-1787/93'' (Munich, 1991). He also offered us a hard disc drive which we could not digest that easily in 2015: Its central content was an Access database with information on all the letters he had catalogued in the Halle based project on the Illuminati correspondence in which he had been working with [[User:Reinhard Markner|Reinhard Markner]] under the supervision of Monika Neugebauer-Wölk. There was no good solution to present this treasure in a regular Wiki.


* Ein zentrales Projekt ist in diesem Zusammenhang die von Dr. [[User:Hermann Schüttler|Hermann Schüttler]] betreute [[Mitglieder des Illuminatenordens|Mitglieder-Kartei]].
Gotha's project on the Illuminati essays ended in 2016 and left us with the awareness that the "Research Base" needed a database solution which had to be able to work with a conventional Wiki. Wikimedia Germany was ready to support us with the implementation of one of the first Wikibase instances outside Wikidata. The ''Gotha Illuminati Research Base'' eventually migrated onto the FactGrid platform, the Wikibase installation which we could now open to historical research of neighbouring projects.
* Langfristig will die Datenbank Zugriff auf die gesamte Quellenlage ermöglichen: Welche [[Archivalien]], welche [[Zeitgenössische Literatur zum Illuminatenorden]] sind wo greifbar, was ist im Open Access verfügbar?
* Wir dürften bereits jetzt den aktuellsten und umfassendsten Überblick über die [[Forschungsliteratur zum Illuminatenorden]] bieten (und sind für alle Hinweise auf Neuerscheinungen dankbar).


Wir laden Forscher, die sich mit dem Illuminatenorden befassen, ein, hier eine gemeinsame Ressource zu betreiben und zu nutzen.
We are presently working on a new phase of Illuminati research that will aim at the entire archival documentation of the organisation.


The ''Gotha Illuminati Research Base'' is at the same moment still a provisional project. The software comes without the user friendly interface we should like to offer. Much of our work has to be presented in SPARQL queries &mdash; to the delight of data miners but to the horror of anyone who would rather access an organised arrangement of web pages. We are aware of the problem and we know that we need a designed interface to offer easy access to the materials.
The project's main page &mdash; [[The Gotha Illuminati Research Base]] &mdash; gives an assortment of overviews and sample searches. Our transcripts are accessible through the full text search above. If you have questions concerning the project or the present web application do not hesitate to contact us

back: The Gotha Illuminati Research Base

The Gotha Illuminati Research Base is a project of the Gotha Research Centre, a sub unit of the University of Erfurt University.

The Database with its network of document pages of transcripts and commentary began as a regular MediaWiki in the DFG funded project "Illuminati Essays" conducted by Markus Meumann and Olaf Simons under the supervision of Martin Mulsow.

The original platform was extremely successful with all its technical constraints — it could only speak German, all information had to be arranged manually. Yet, we were delighted that the pages quickly inspired the entire community of Illuminati research to join. Everyone doing work in the field contacted us with the wish to have an account on the platform.

Hermann Schüttler gave the platform its a central prosopographic structure with pages he created for all the members he had previously documented in his Die Mitglieder des Illuminatenordens, 1776-1787/93 (Munich, 1991). He also offered us a hard disc drive which we could not digest that easily in 2015: Its central content was an Access database with information on all the letters he had catalogued in the Halle based project on the Illuminati correspondence in which he had been working with Reinhard Markner under the supervision of Monika Neugebauer-Wölk. There was no good solution to present this treasure in a regular Wiki.

Gotha's project on the Illuminati essays ended in 2016 and left us with the awareness that the "Research Base" needed a database solution which had to be able to work with a conventional Wiki. Wikimedia Germany was ready to support us with the implementation of one of the first Wikibase instances outside Wikidata. The Gotha Illuminati Research Base eventually migrated onto the FactGrid platform, the Wikibase installation which we could now open to historical research of neighbouring projects.

We are presently working on a new phase of Illuminati research that will aim at the entire archival documentation of the organisation.

The Gotha Illuminati Research Base is at the same moment still a provisional project. The software comes without the user friendly interface we should like to offer. Much of our work has to be presented in SPARQL queries — to the delight of data miners but to the horror of anyone who would rather access an organised arrangement of web pages. We are aware of the problem and we know that we need a designed interface to offer easy access to the materials.

The project's main page — The Gotha Illuminati Research Base — gives an assortment of overviews and sample searches. Our transcripts are accessible through the full text search above. If you have questions concerning the project or the present web application do not hesitate to contact us
