-# Editing this README
-
-When you're ready to make this README your own, just edit this file and use the handy template below (or feel free to structure it however you want - this is just a starting point!). Thank you to [makeareadme.com](https://www.makeareadme.com/) for this template.
-
-## Suggestions for a good README
-Every project is different, so consider which of these sections apply to yours. The sections used in the template are suggestions for most open source projects. Also keep in mind that while a README can be too long and detailed, too long is better than too short. If you think your README is too long, consider utilizing another form of documentation rather than cutting out information.
-
-## Name
-Choose a self-explaining name for your project.
-
-## Description
-Let people know what your project can do specifically. Provide context and add a link to any reference visitors might be unfamiliar with. A list of Features or a Background subsection can also be added here. If there are alternatives to your project, this is a good place to list differentiating factors.
-
-## Badges
-On some READMEs, you may see small images that convey metadata, such as whether or not all the tests are passing for the project. You can use Shields to add some to your README. Many services also have instructions for adding a badge.
-
-## Visuals
-Depending on what you are making, it can be a good idea to include screenshots or even a video (you'll frequently see GIFs rather than actual videos). Tools like ttygif can help, but check out Asciinema for a more sophisticated method.
-
-## Installation
-Within a particular ecosystem, there may be a common way of installing things, such as using Yarn, NuGet, or Homebrew. However, consider the possibility that whoever is reading your README is a novice and would like more guidance. Listing specific steps helps remove ambiguity and gets people to using your project as quickly as possible. If it only runs in a specific context like a particular programming language version or operating system or has dependencies that have to be installed manually, also add a Requirements subsection.
-
-## Usage
-Use examples liberally, and show the expected output if you can. It's helpful to have inline the smallest example of usage that you can demonstrate, while providing links to more sophisticated examples if they are too long to reasonably include in the README.
-
-## Support
-Tell people where they can go to for help. It can be any combination of an issue tracker, a chat room, an email address, etc.
-
-## Roadmap
-If you have ideas for releases in the future, it is a good idea to list them in the README.
-
-## Contributing
-State if you are open to contributions and what your requirements are for accepting them.
-
-For people who want to make changes to your project, it's helpful to have some documentation on how to get started. Perhaps there is a script that they should run or some environment variables that they need to set. Make these steps explicit. These instructions could also be useful to your future self.
-
-You can also document commands to lint the code or run tests. These steps help to ensure high code quality and reduce the likelihood that the changes inadvertently break something. Having instructions for running tests is especially helpful if it requires external setup, such as starting a Selenium server for testing in a browser.
-
-## Authors and acknowledgment
-Show your appreciation to those who have contributed to the project.
-
-## License
-For open source projects, say how it is licensed.
-
-## Project status
-If you have run out of energy or time for your project, put a note at the top of the README saying that development has slowed down or stopped completely. Someone may choose to fork your project or volunteer to step in as a maintainer or owner, allowing your project to keep going. You can also make an explicit request for maintainers.

+Die Herzog August Bibliothek ist eine außeruniversitäre Forschungs- und Studienstätte zur Erforschung der europäischen Kulturgeschichte des Mittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit. Sie besitzt bedeutende Sammlungen an Handschriften und alten Drucken sowie einen umfassenden Bestand moderner Forschungsliteratur. In zahlreichen Digitalisierungs-, Erschließungs- und Forschungs¬projekten werden die Bestände zugänglich gemacht und wissenschaftlich genutzt.
+Im Bestand der Herzog August Bibliothek wurden in der Vergangenheit nur punktuell Fälle von NS-Raubgut ermittelt. Mit den antiquarischen Erwerbungen seit 1969 wurde im abgeschlossenen Projekt demgegenüber ein Aspekt strukturiert ins Auge gefasst, der bislang oftmals ein Forschungs- und Erschließungsdesiderat darstellt. Zwei große Signaturengruppen des antiquarischen Zugangs wurden dahingehend untersucht, wie in einem solchen Bestandssegment, das zum weit über¬wiegenden Teil aus dem Antiquariats- und Auktionshandel erworben wurde ‒ oftmals in Jahr¬zehnten, in denen der Frage nach sog. sekundärem Raubgut national und international noch wenig Bedeutung beigemessen wurde ‒ der Anteil an NS-verfolgungsbedingt entzogenem Kulturgut zu veranschlagen ist und auf welchen Wegen es in die Herzog August Bibliothek gelangt sein könnte.
+Konkret wurden ca. 29.000 Bände systematisch erfasst und hinsichtlich ihrer Provenienzen überprüft, die seit 1969 in Form antiquarischer Einzelerwerbungen und geschlossen übernommener Sammlungen älterer Literatur in den Bestand der Bibliothek gekommen sind. Als projektrelevant erwiesen sich aus dieser Zahl 4.846 Bände (16,7 %); in 24.154 Bänden (83,3 %) fehlten dagegen entsprechende einschlägige Provenienzmerkmale. Zu 417 Objekten (1,4 %) wurden Tiefenrecher¬chen durchgeführt, die in bislang 37 Einzelfalldossiers dokumentiert wurden. Diese Einzelfalldossiers werden hier als Forschungsdaten veröffentlicht. Dabei konnten 35 Objekte aus 29 Provenienzen (0,1 %) mit der nötigen Sicherheit als NS-Raubgut oder NS-Raubgut-Verdachtsfälle eingestuft werden. In fünf Provenienzkomplexen mit insgesamt acht Bänden führten die Recherchen des Projekts zu aktuell laufenden oder bereits abgeschlossenen Restitutions¬verfahren bzw. zu anderweitigen gerechten und fairen Lösungen im Sinne der Washingtoner Prinzipien. Weitere Restitutionen sollen folgen.
+Alle Rechercheergebnisse wurden kontinuierlich im Bibliothekskatalog der Herzog August Bibliothek sowie im Rahmen des Verbundkatalogs K10plus dokumentiert. Wo möglich, wurde die Provenienzerschließung durch Identifikatoren der Gemeinsamen Normdatei (GND) angereichert und durch die Verwendung eines kontrollierten Vokabulars (Thesaurus der Provenienzbegriffe, T-PRO) formal standardisiert. Weiterführende Informationen und Bildmaterial wurden im ProvenienzWiki des Gemeinsamen Bibliotheksverbunds (GBV) bereitgestellt. Als NS-Raubgut identifizierte Objekte oder solche, bei denen sich ein fundierter NS-Raubgut-Verdacht nicht sicher ausschließen ließ, wurden zu Projektende an die Lost Art-Datenbank gemeldet.

+
+The Herzog August Bibliothek is an independent research institute specializing in the study of European cultural history in the medieval and early modern period. It holds important collections of manuscripts and early printed books as well as a comprehensive stock of modern research literature. In numerous digitization, cataloging, and research projects, the holdings are explored and made accessible to the public.
+Amongst the various holdings of the Herzog August Bibliothek, cases of Nazis-looted property have come to light in isolated instances in the past. The project just completed took a structured approach while focusing on one aspect in particular – the antiquarian acquisitions that, to date, had not been researched extensively. Two large groups of books, the vast majority of which were acquired from antiquarian bookshops and auctions ‒ often at a time when so-called “redistributed loot” was still thought to be of little importance nationally and internationally – were examined. As a result, the project aimed to determine how many of the objects that were confiscated (or sold) because of Nazi persecution were contained in these collections and through which routes they might have reached the Herzog August Bibliothek.
+Therefore, the project systematically recorded and investigated the provenance of approximately 29,000 volumes that had been added either as individual acquisitions or as part of closed collections of older literature to the library’s holdings since 1969. Of this number, 4,846 volumes (16.7%) proved to be significant for the project’s research question; in contrast, 24,154 volumes (83.3%) lacked relevant provenance markings. In-depth research was carried out on 417 objects (1.4%), which to date has been documented in 37 individual case files. These individual case files are published here as research data. 35 objects from 29 provenances (0.1%) were identified as Nazi-looted property or presumed Nazi-looted property. In five cases with a total of eight volumes, the project’s research led to currently ongoing or already completed restitutions or to other just and fair solutions as outlined by the Washington Principles. Further efforts at restitution are to follow.
+Research findings have been recorded in the library catalog of the Herzog August Bibliothek and the union catalog K10plus. Wherever possible, the provenance indexing was enhanced with identifiers from the German Integrated Authority File (Gemeinsame Normdatei, GND) and formally standardized through the use of a controlled vocabulary (Thesaurus der Provenienzbegriffe, T-PRO). Further information and images have been made available in the ProvenienzWiki hosted by the GBV Common Library Network. Objects identified as Nazi-looted property or suspected Nazi-looted property were reported to the Lost Art Database by the end of the project.
