The seminar will introduce a research project on the private libraries of 18th-century German princesses and investigate the epistemic and social practices related to these libraries. In the project, libraries are reconstructed with the help of a knowledge graph. The presentation will focus on data modelling, discuss first results as well as raise issues of archiving problems and “heritigization”.
