Welcome!
— on FactGrid, the Wikibase instance for historians, Q17 on the global Wikibase Registry.
The project is still under construction. We are already open all who would love to run historical data on a Wikibase. The software is bright, so much we can say after the first two years. We have grown above expectation and reached some 150,000 items, some with an unprecedented depth of database information. But the big step lies still ahead: In a joint venture with the German National Library we are working on an input of up to 10 million GND (and Wikidata) records of persons, organisations and places. You might like to check our blog to learn more about the aims. Visit the project section to meet the individual projects that have begun to use us as a cooperative research platform.
If you do not have an account yet - that is the first thing we should offer (but read our FactGrid:Terms of Service before you contact the technical coordinator).
The present installation is by default in English. Anyone with an account can login and change the interface language to any other language (in the Preferences section). What is more important than the interface: Wikibase data can be offered in practically any language, if researchers do the adaptations. The ideal solution will offer a multilingual (Reasonator) interface, so that even users without an account can switch languages to their preferences.
