The document discusses the "Archivum Rhenanum" project, which aims to create a portal presenting archives from Germany and France along the Upper Rhine region. The project will digitize and make archival documents bilingual online from the medieval period through the 16th century, with the option to extend to later periods. It involves nearly 25 partner organizations and aims to foster cultural and historical understanding across the region through improved archival access and communication. The project seeks to establish a permanent online presence and greater historical networking between areas along the Upper Rhine.
