The database “Adjective-Adverb Interfaces in Romance” is an annotated and partly lemmatised corpus of Romance adjectives used in adverbial functions and as part of prepositional adverbials. It integrates several corpora of different Romance languages (French, Italian varieties, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish), which comprise a total of 31.800 annotated examples. A search interface allows for queries in each separate corpus as well as in freely combined corpora. Adverbs are tagged according to a shared annotation model, using the same categories. Thus, the annotation model offers a cross-linguistic categorization for the multifunctional word-class “adverb” based on its forms, functions and meanings.

The Cistercian monastery of Aldersbach was one of the most important monasteries in Old Bavaria. A central source of the history of the house is the German-language chronicle of Abbot Gerhard Hörger (r. 1651-1659), edited here for the first time. The edition consists of a digital humanities treatment of a 137-page manuscript from the mid-17th century, which is now kept in the Bavarian Main State Archives in Munich. In addition to a scholarly introduction, the websites offer a semantically enriched digital edition of Hörger's chronicle in a synoptic view in which the transcription and illustrations of the original source are juxtaposed.

“Becoming Urban - Reconstructing the city of Graz in the long 19th century” illustrates the growth, change and ongoing urbanisation of Graz in the long 19th century. Images of urban space and texts describing the city are used as sources of urban perception and description and, in comparison and combination with each other, show processes of change during this period. The project provides an insight into and an overview of historical developments and events, and also creates a better understanding of Graz as we know it today. In addition to the benefits for research, teaching and knowledge transfer, the tool is also available for private and touristic use. Becoming Urban was implemented in cooperation with the Graz Museum, the Institute Centre for Information Modelling and the Graz City Archive and funded by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (go!digital next generation). The project is being further developed both technically and in terms of content. In this way, an increasingly accurate picture of the urbanisation of Graz and how the city looked and was perceived in the 19th century is emerging.

Already around 1900, the modern graphic poster conquers the public urban space and thus marks the beginning of the history of commercial design. A scientific examination of the posters and graphics of the Styrian Provincial Archives and their pictorial and art historical analysis provide new insights into the Styrian Modernism. Forgotten artists are identified, a development depicted and placed into the international context. As early as 1900, Graz had lively modern tendencies that can be summed up in the term of Graz Zeitkunst.

Regional nutrition, sustainable lifestyles and health prophylaxis are of great importance for Styrians in the 21st century. But this was also the case in the Middle Ages and early modern times: This topic has a central significance not only in the historical everyday life, but also in the technical literature of this time. An impressive example of this is the manuscript Ms. 1609 of the Graz University Library from the late 15th century. In the project 'Mittelalterlabor' exactly these topics are prepared on the basis of German-medieval studies, digital humanities (Digital Edition) and scientific-communicative methods. On the basis of the contents of the late medieval manuscript, four course modules were developed for the amateur-oriented transfer of knowledge and practical application: Nutrition, medicine, sustainability, mentality. These courses form a further hands-on laboratory for the humanities within the framework of the 'Offenes Labor' at the University of Graz.

These research projects intend to collect and analyse all Celtic divine names that are preserved in Latin inscriptions of the Roman provinces Germania Inferior and Germania Superior (in the left bank of the river Rhine). These sources seem especially suitable as a basis for examining phenomena that emerge in religious contexts when different cultural influences collide. In this case, those influences are defined on the one hand by the use of the Celtic language, on the other hand by the Latin language and patterns from inside the Roman Empire that can be labelled as “Roman”. Our focus is not only on religious aspects but also on social issues and corresponding mentalities. A further aim is to contribute to a clearer overall picture of the provincial religion in Germania Inferior and Germania Superior.

The first book of Johann Georg Metzger’s travelogue (1650) is now available as a digital edition. The itinerary about his journey to Constantinople was long believed to be lost and was rediscovered in the course of the project “The Mediality of Diplomatic Communication” led by Prof. Strohmeyer (funded by the Austrian Science Fund). The scholarly edition was created in cooperation with the Centre of Information Modelling (Uni Graz) and is available as a beta version.

The digital anthology "Twilight Zones" provides a new compilation of "liminal texts" and their analysis through an extensive category system, offering innovative insights into the long turn of the century. Around 1880 and continuing into the first decades of the 20th century, France, Austria, and Germany saw widespread innovations in the sciences, the arts, politics, and society that were reflected in textual production. These texts can be labeled as "liminal" because they deny to be classified into traditional systems, genres, and forms. The compilation and analysis of liminal texts offer an ideal field of experimentation for current theoretical and methodological questions.

The main objective of the Visual Archive Southeastern Europe is to assemble historical and contemporary visual materials on Southeastern Europe. VASE seeks to draw attention to the visual as primary source, to enhance visual studies as a technique and method and thereby enrich the primarily text-based historical-anthropological research. By providing different types of images - e. g. photos and postcards - VASE aims at reflecting the (self-) images of Southeastern Europe, both among the academic community as well as on society at large. It may not be used for commercial purposes.
