The digital Monumenta Germaniae Historica (dMGH)
The Monumenta Germaniae Historica (frequently abbreviated MGH in bibliographies and lists of sources) is a comprehensive series of carefully edited and published primary sources, both chronicle and archival, for the study of German history (broadly conceived) from the end of the Roman Empire to 1500.[1] Despite the name, the series covers important sources for the history of many countries besides Germany, since the Society for the Publication of Sources on Germanic Affairs of the Middle Ages has included documents from many other areas subjected to the influence of Germanic tribes or rulers (Britain, Czech lands, Poland, Austria, France, Low Countries, Italy, Spain, etc.)
Within the framework of the dMGH, all editions of the MGH are digitized and open access is made available in a joint project funded by the DFG between the MGH and the Bavarian State Library, Munich. New volumes are included in the dMGH ("moving wall") after a protection period of three years. By the end of 2010 the full text of the older volumes will be completed. The volumes of the Scriptores, Diplomata and Epistolae departments as well as a large number of leges are currently available in the full text (as of February 2010).
