DigiPEER

yesterday I took part in a meeting at the Deutsche Bergbaumuseum. A group of institutions that are working in the filed of the history of technology and planning history is currently digitizing parts of their archival holdings. The documents will be available as high resolution images on the internet. The documents they will pull together seem to be very heterogenous, ranging from sketches used to construct V2 missiles in the 1930s to landscape plans prepared in the GDR. I was invited to comment on what the overall use for scientific research interested in space could be in working with these documents.
