Die Fuggerzeitungen
The indexing and, more broadly, the entire work done on the Fuggerzeitungen has been funded by the Austrian Science Fund
(FWF) (Projekt P 23080-G18) under the direction of PD Dr. Katrin
Keller. The project has started in March 2011 and will last until
February 2015. The project is hosted by the Austrian Institute of Historical Research (IÖG) and has been pursued in cooperation with the Department of Manuscripts and Old Prints of the Austrian National Library in Vienna.
The project team has been made up by Dr. Katrin Keller, Dr. Paola
Molino, and until February 2013 by MMag. Nikolaus Schobesberger, who is
also the author of the geographical maps to be found under Materialien
The identification of all people and places quoted in the
Fuggerzeitungen has started already during the indexing of the
newsletters. Approximately 10.000 people and 5.500 places had been
already identified when the project team completed the access register
in Autumn 2012.
