Searching the Census-database

The starting page of the database comprises two central areas – Antique Monuments and Renaissance Documents. They correspond to the two major fields comprising the database.

Six further entities on the right side provide complementary information on the monument and document entries. They contain registers of locations (Location), persons (Person), dates (Date), Antique styles (Style), inscriptions (Inscription) and secondary literature (Bibliography). Access into the database is possible via all the given entities.

The user is able to access in manifold ways the materials of the database. Predefined functions for queries are available, on the basis of which the user receives standard information like e. g., if an antique object was proved to be known at a certain point of time, to which collection it belonged, in what state of preservation it was found, by whom it was restored etc. The material avalaible can also be consulted by navigating independently from the predefined research criteria in the database.
