The Rostock Matrikelportal (matriculation portal) [1] disseminates about 186,000 individual-level datasets drawn from the student registers of the University of Rostock from its establishment in 1419 to today. Each entry is faithfully transcribed and linked with a digitized image of a student's original, partly handwritten register entry. Users may search and comment on individual entries, thus expanding the information on single students. Places of origin are geo-tagged and displayed on interactive maps. Additional links refer to professors that were active at the time of matriculation (see: Catalogus Professorum Rostochiensium) and lectures held. Integrated Authority Files (GNDs) identify notable students and interlink them with further personal data in web portals and platforms on the Internet. [2]

The Catalogus Professorum Rostochiensium (CPR) is a freely accessible online catalogue of all professors at the University of Rostock from 1419 to the present. Each entry documents a professor's biographical data and scientific achievements and is linked with further digitized resources such as photographs or handwritten documents. The project has not yet been finished. The CPR currently provides more than 2,200 individual-level records that can be fully researched. The application of Integrated Authority Files (GNDs) automatically interlinks the Catalogus with further external web resources and vice versa.
