The Gotha Illuminati Research Base

The Gotha Illuminati Research Base is a collaborative project of Gotha's Research Centre with a longer list of contributors: Olaf Simons, Markus Meumann, Hermann Schüttler, Christian Wirkner, Erik Liebscher, Martin Mulsow, Josef Wäges — to mention the most prominent.

The database comprises the data sets of some 7000 documents, 1500 publications, 1400 people who were members or otherwise related to the order.

Showcases are the two timelines of all the meetings of Minerval Churches we have documented and of the member entry points we could pin to a specific date.

The database is particularly useful to reconstruct correspondences — offering focuses on authors, recipients and persons mentioned in documents.

The search for people who are known to have signed a Reverse for the Order gives the most comprehensive list of members available at the moment. The project page offers more sample queries and first perspectives on the findings.

The Global Genealogy of Lodges

FactGrid presently offers the data sets of some 900 lodges, most of them of the (former) German speaking territories. The individual sets are by and large short, most of them ale equipped with GND data. A couple of lodges have become test cases for more densely packed information (see Gothas former lodge "Ernst zum Compaß" as the case of greatest detail).

[[User:Christian Wirkner|Christian Wirkner supplied detailed information for Göttingen's 18th-century lodges. Membership information is otherwise available wherever the Illuminati Research Base has contributed Masonic background information. The following searches give an overview:

The wider project of the global genealogy of Lodges will require a team to visualise the spread of Masonic lodges and their links to parent and umbrella organisations with the different systems and families as they developed over the last three centuries.

The Bible & Quran Project

Initiated by Tim Herb the project aims to map all biblical and Quranic names and to connect these with the genealogical and historical information given in the Biblical texts. As Wikibase allows contradicting statements we will not try to harmonise the information. The project will rather offer competing chronologies and genealogies according to the various statements of the individual books.

The project is so far in its initial stages. The first target is the Bible on FactGrid - every verse and every book with a Q-Number and links into German and English BibleServer.com translations. We should in a second step be able to configure different Bibles for different religions and religious denominations.

The Biblical names will come with GND and Wikidata links. We have not yet risked to advertise the project on a larger scale.
