The project serves to establish a sustainable research infrastructure that connects the research group "Kulturtechniken des Sammelns" (Cultural Techniques of Collecting) at the University of Erfurt and other researchers at the Universities of Weimar and Jena with the various collection institutions in Gotha. The aim is to make the unique ensemble of collections formed by the Friedenstein Castle Foundation and the Gotha Research Library, among others, more accessible to early-stage researchers in particular, who are offered special opportunities to gain qualifications in the practice and theory of collecting and special collections.
Further information on the project can be found on the project pages at the Centre for Transcultural Studies / Gotha Perthes Collection.
