The DORO repository is used for the long-term storage of special digital research data collections, currently mainly from the humanities. DORO is a so-called ‘dark archive’, i.e. the objects it contains are not presented on the DORO website, but exclusively on external websites of the respective projects or collections on the Internet.
Preparations are currently underway to transfer the following databases to DORO:
WossiDiA - the Digital Wossidlo Archive
WossiDiA is the name of the digital Wossidlo archive, which was put online in 2014 and can be accessed by anyone free of charge.
From 2010 to 2014, the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) funded the digital transfer and backup filming of Richard Wossidlo's collections. The WossiDiA digital archive has been freely accessible online since 2014 and is still being processed.
LinguRep - The Subject Repository of the German Language Atlas Research Centre
mit handgezeichneten Karten zum Mecklenburgischen Wörterbuch
A total of 20 hand-drawn maps by former Rostock professor Dr Hermann Teuchert have been made available online in the linguistic repository LinguRep of the German Language Atlas Research Centre at the University of Marburg. The maps show, among other things, the distribution of certain Low German terms for e.g. the wild berry, harvesting potatoes, the compartment in the barn or the rye harvest. Two base maps showing the territory of the Grand Duchies of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz serve as the background for the word maps.
The Digital Archive of the ‘Rostock Songbook’ (DARL)
The ‘Digital Archive of the Rostock Songbook’ (DARL) (Das Digitale Archiv zum 'Rostocker Lieerbuch') is a joint project between the Institute of German Studies, the Institute of Computer Science, the University Library and the IT and Media Centre of the University of Rostock as well as the Rostock University of Music and Theatre. The project is managed by Prof Dr Franz-Josef Holznagel from the Institute of German Studies; the DARL was funded by the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Research Fund between March 2012 and November 2013. The digital archive is intended as a further development of the previous website, which was located under the domain www.rostocker-liederbuch.de, and as a supplement to the edition of the songs and melodies of the ‘Rostocker Liederbuch’.
