Summary/Abstract: The tradition of matriculation records at the University of Heidelberg dating back to the founding year 1386 is currently being digitized as part of a DFG project. At the end of the 19th century, these records were made accessible by an edition up to the year 1870. Together with a database structure developed at the University of Duisburg-Essen, the foundations have been laid for the creation of a database of the university members in Heidelberg for the period 1386 to 1920.
