Annkristin Schlichte reports in her article “Charters on the web: The international virtual archive Monasterium.net” from the flourishing international cooperation between Monasterium.net/ICARUS and three Swiss Archives: The Archives of the Monastery Einsiedeln, the Monastery Archives St. Gallen and the City Archives of St. Gallen.

The vital message: Not only does the team-work between Monasterium.net/ICARUS and various monasteries and archives signify essential steps into the digital future of knowledge transfer; it rather shows the importance for the city itself and enables the citizens of St. Gallen to get easy access to their own and their city´s cultural history.

Great article, great project!
