Projects in the Digital Network for Collections

We support the FU, HU, TU and Charité in digitally cataloguing and presenting their collections. This page provides an overview of our collaborations and the projects implemented.

We are always open to new collaborations. Feel free to contact us if you would like to suggest a joint project or find out more about our work.
