Digitalization and deep indexing of the collection “Alfred Krupp (1812-1887) and his wife Bertha, née. Eichhoff (1831-1888)” at the Krupp Historical Archive

The goal of this project is the digitalization and analytical indexing of the archival collection "Alfred Krupp (1812-1887) and his wife Bertha, née Eichhoff (1831-1888)" at the Krupp Historical Archive. Alfred Krupp ranks among the world's most important entrepreneurs during the age of industrialization. The documents, among them records, photographies and further images, touch the topics of economy, politics, the social question, and technology. The documents are unique, and their significance includes the written documents as well as the photographs. There is no known collection of other entrepreneurs from this time period with a similar density of information. The collection spans 25 running meters, has a retention period from 1826 to 1887, and comprises 1.763 units of description. As a first step, these units of description (items) of the collection are to be digitalized by an external service provider, in close coordination with the Krupp Historical Archive and in consideration of the DFG-rules for "Digitalization". Subsequently, the rudimentary descriptive identification of the items, dating back to the 1900s and 1930s, is to be revised and supplemented by deep, analytic descriptions. For this, the archival software FAUST will be used.In a third step, the descriptive identification will be migrated into a EAD(DDB)-compliant XML-format, supplemented by metadata-files and uploaded to the portal www.archive.nrw.de, which will link to the files. The thyssenkrupp AG IT-department will store the files and keep them accessible to the public.Finally, www.archive.nrw.de will provide the data to the Archivportal D, the German Digital Library, and the Europeana. Thus, it will be made available for national and international research.The project is part of a long-term revision and re-indexing of core collections of the Krupp Historical Archive and will function as a kick-off for a strategic digitalization of its main collections.

该项目的目的是在Krupp Historical Archive上的数字化和分析索引。在工业化时代，阿尔弗雷德·克鲁普（Alfred Krupp）在世界上最重要的企业家中名列前茅。这些文件，其中包括记录，摄影师和更多图像，触及经济，政治，社会问题和技术的主题。文档是独一无二的，其意义包括书面文档和照片。从这个时期开始，没有已知的其他企业家收集的信息密度相似。该系列跨越了25米，从1826年到1887年有一个保留期，包括1.763个描述单位。作为第一步，这些集合的描述单位（项目）将由外部服务提供商数字化，并与Krupp历史档案馆密切协调，并考虑到“数字化”的DFG-Rules。随后，将对这些项目的基本描述性识别可以追溯到1900年代和1930年代，并应通过深入的分析描述进行修订和补充。为此，将使用档案软件浮士德。在第三步中，描述性识别将迁移到EAD（DDB） - 集合XML-Format中，并补充了元数据文件，并上传到Portal www.archive.nrw.de，该XML-format将链接到文件。 Thyssenkrupp AG IT部门将存储文件，并使公共场所可以访问它们。这将可用于国家和国际研究。该项目是对Krupp历史档案馆的核心收藏的长期修订和重新索引的一部分，并将作为其主要收藏的战略数字化的开球。
