FactGrid historical database

Liebe Mastodon Mediävisten: Wir versuchen gerade 3000 mittelalterliche (primär deutsche) Ortsnamen heutigen zuzuordnen. Hat jemand bereits einen solchen Datensatz, den wir nachnutzen könnten? #Ortsnamen #Mittelalter #Datensatz

(Erfreut über weite Verbreitung dieser Frage)

1,5 million items as of today. It took us five years to make the first 500,000 items. The second 500,000 took us one and a half years. We are presently doing 500,000 items in less than a year.

noch ein sehr, sehr magerer Datensatz: 44 der 1000 Teilnehmerinnen am Internationalen Kongress für Frauenrechte und Frauenbestrebungen, Berlin 19.–26. September 1896. Hat jemand die restlichen 95,6%? https://tinyurl.com/2yr4xlbn

FactGrid is getting a dataset of all Dachau concentration camp prisoners. Can anyone identify a #Hungarian place name "Suhabaranka" or "Suchabaranka"?

FactGrid's Germany is getting all rivers - for a project on mills. Let us know if you want to spot objects that needed hydropower. Here the query: https://tinyurl.com/275eexlq

Just by the way: if there is anyone who can provide a table of the names and transcriptions - we will create the database objects for them all to see how much background information the items they can still accumulate. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kaunas_Hebrew_Realgymnasium,_Class_of_1938.jpg
