The aim of this project is to build a comprehensive online repository that provides access to all surviving documents of the Bach family of musicians – the most influential family dynasty in music history – from the late 16th to the early 19th century. For the first time in the history of Bach research, the written documents preserved in libraries, archives and private collections will be digitally recorded, indexed, processed, annotated and made available via an online portal. Interlinking with existing digital Bach projects is planned.
