Data Center for the Humanities

We are a central institution of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and advise and support researchers at the university and beyond on issues relating to the permanent preservation, availability and presentation of data and results of research in the humanities. In coordination with our local partners, we supplement the research data management (RDM) at the Faculty with a profile tailored to the humanities.

The core business of the Data Centre for the Humanities (DCH) is to provide advice, mediation and active support to all researchers at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and beyond on issues relating to research data management (RDM) in the humanities. In personal consultations, the DCH staff try to find out information about a project and/or concerns and the corresponding framework conditions in order to provide customised advice, mediate or develop solutions on this basis. Such a counselling process can ultimately involve several sessions together, without a time limit.

The DCH distinguishes between five different categories of counselling processes:

  • General RDM counselling,
  • Application consultations/participation ("ab ovo"),
  • Accompanying research data management ("in vitae"), e.g. in ongoing large-scale projects,
  • Assistance with ending or completed projects ("post mortem"),
  • Supply of "legacy data", i.e. collections that were collected some time ago and whose author and processor are no longer available.
