A geodata collection on historical political/administrative units created and collected for the HistoGIS Project.
The region covered is Europe with a special focus on Central Europe / Austria(-Hungary) and German States, the temporal extent is from c. 1815 to c. 1919. National borders are available for the whole temporal extent and all of Europe, while lower level administrative borders (provinces, counties, etc.) are available for the focus areas.
Data is provided in GeoJSON format following the “The Linked Places format (LPF)” recommendations. The files contain geometries, timespans as well as additional attribute data. The data is structured along three axes: Geographical / political region, contemporary administrative level and time.

DAACDA contains interconnected data on U.S. and British planes and air crews downed over today’s Austria and Hungary between 1939 and 1945. Information on each crashed plane as well as on the related air crew is stored in XML/TEI-format. The data sets for each aircraft and crew are grouped according to the respective military units, the so-called "squadrons", and assigned to corresponding locations (crash, apprehension, place of death, imprisonment).

The aim of this project was the digitisation of historical language and dialect maps of the (Central) European area from 1924-1956 and the collection of historical information on these maps in a database. The historical data form the basis for a critical examination of the maps, i.e. for a historical contextualisation. Thus, the database contains information on the authors or draughtsmen of the maps, the institutional background of their creation, the year of origin of the maps, the publisher who published them. Both the scans of the maps and the data mentioned are thus accessible in the form of a digital visualisation.
The Project Austrian Dialect Cartography 1924-1956. Digitisation, contextualisation, visualisation is a cooperative project of the "Wörterbuch der bairischen Mundndarten in Österreich" (WBÖ) of the department "Variation und Wandel des Deutschen in Österreich" (VaWADiÖ) of the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities (ACDH) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and a satellite project of the special research area "Deutsch in Österreich" (DiÖ) of the Universities of Vienna, Graz and Salzburg and the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
