Activities performed by team members between January and June 2013

During this stage of the project, the three team members were active according to the following directions:

  1. The database

    Team members continued to introduce titles in the online database (on the Zotero platform - www.zotero.org).

    Text extract from the database implemented within the frame of the project.

    From the Siebenbürgen-Institut in Gundelsheim, research institute affiliated to the University in Heidelberg (Germany) the project team obtained access to 60,000 titles referring to Transylvania and Banat. The information is available online and is currently converted in order to be sorted and inserted in the Zotero database.
