Digital Index

The Digital Index to British Envoys to Germany is a combined subject and biographical index of the series. It allows to search for dispatches from all or each of the eight British missions to Germany, for names, subjects, or places mentioned in or related to the dispatches, and for a specific year as well as a certain period covered by the edition. All results can be sorted chronologically, by mission or by sender. On request short summaries allow quick information on the content of the dispatches.

For specific dispatches, exact day or month, the archive class mark, or search for any combination of missions, names, subjects, and year please use Advanced Search.

The record for each diplomatic dispatch provides information on the archive class mark, author, addressee, number of dispatch, place and date of origin, a brief summary of the dispatch, the volume and page number in the printed edition, and all related entries in the index of names and of subjects and places.

Additionally all entries in the index of names and of subjects and places are accessible alphabetically or by individual search. Index entries provide the exact page number in the respective printed volume. All related dispatches are shown on request. The records of the name index provide short biographical sketches of the persons in question.

Data from the follow-up series British Envoys to the Kaiserreich (1871-1897/1905) will be added to the Digital Index as each volume is published.

The Digital Index to British Envoys to Germany is based on the software DENQ 1 developed by Jörg Hörnschemeyer for the German Historical Institutes in Rome and London. It was realized by Jörg Hörnschemeyer, Markus Mösslang, and Chrstoph Schönberger in Cooperation with the Arbeitsgruppe Digitale Editionen. For further information visit the DENQ project website.
