About the History GuideThe History Guide provides access to scholarly relevant websites in history. All resources are described and evaluated with a set of Dublin Core metadata. The History Guide, originally developed and located at Goettingen State and University Library since 1995 within a project funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation) and publicly accessible since 1997 started a cooperation with the InformationsWeiser Geschichte of the Bavarian State Library in 2001. This cooperation has been enlarged within the project Clio-Online and is meanwhile transformed in in a so-called netzwerk internetressourcen geschichte (Network Subject Gateways History) (nig). 
The network internetressourcen geschichte is an alliance of institutions (research libraries, subject bibliographies, research institutions) which are sharing the mission to make scholarly relevant Internet resources publicly accessible in the field of history. The Network is open for the cooperation with further institutions and individual scholars as far as the mission and premises of the Network are supported in the same way. The principal purpose of the Network is the creation of metadata records based on internationally accepted standards and the provision of free access to these records for the scholarly community. The actual members of the Network Subject Gateway History are:

New feature since January 2004: Integration of records of the History Guide into one's own website. The History Guide / Informationsweiser Geschichte offers the opportunity to integrate part of its records as a list of links into one's own website. By this way authors of history websites can use the resources of the History Guide / Informationsweiser Geschichte for offering linklists to their users without being forced to regularly update their website. The integration of such linklists based on records of the History Guide is rather simple. This HistoryGuide How-To shows how it works (PDF-prospect; about 900 KB). A documentation for the actual new version of the History Guide is in preparation. Meanwhile you can still use the documentation for version 2. The principle goals and access methods are still the same (Wilfried Enderle / Petra Lepschy: Documentation of the History Guide Version 2. May 2002). Publications:
