The contribution presents the digitized papers of the Benedictine historians Bernhard (1683-1735) and Hieronymus Pez (1685-1762). They were among the first scholars in the Catholic South of the Holy Roman Empire to systematically collect and critically publish medieval manuscript sources, including many from monastic libraries which have since been dispersed or lost. Beyond the letters to the brothers Pez, the archive and library of Melk Abbey in Lower Austria contain large quantities of manuscript material left by them, both their own notes and the submissions of their correspondents. This includes, for example, various types of biographical lists, (partial) catalogues of books and manuscripts from numerous libraries, excerpts and transcripts from medieval manuscripts and charters. Between 2009 and 2012, the Pez papers were digitized, provided with the necessary metadata and imported into UNIDAM, a digital asset management system. The ca. 50.000 images (1,5 terabyte) represent the content of eleven archive boxes and 58 manuscripts and are accessible on the internet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper describes the internet project "Digitalisation of Prussia's official press". It was funded by the DFG. The project deals with the "Provinzial-Correspondenz" (PC, 1863-1884) and the "Neueste Mittheilungen" (NM, 1882-1994). Both papers were founded in an immense political crisis; both papers were important propagandistic instruments of Otto von Bismarck.

Condensed abstracts offer surveys for both correspondences. A systematic index provides navigation from topic to topic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
