bavarikon is the Internet portal of the Free State of Bavaria for the presentation of art, culture and knowledge from institutions in Bavaria. Archives, libraries and museums as well as state administration, monument preservation and science institutions are involved.

bavarikon enables worldwide and free access to a wide range of cultural assets such as documents and archives, manuscripts, archaeological finds, paintings, graphics and photographs, city plans and maps, sculptures, means of payment, castles and palaces as well as folk culture and much more. Selected exhibits are offered as 3D models.

The digitized material in the portal were partly specially produced for bavarikon. The portal is expanded every month with new content and is constantly gaining new institutions as new partners. In addition, the content can also be forwarded to the German Digital Library and Europeana via interfaces .

bavarikon went online in April 2013. It is part of the “Bayern Digital II” funding program of the Bavarian State Government and was a module of the “Bavarian Culture Concept” in its early years.

content

bavarikon contains around 320,000 fully integrated objects (as of April 2020): digitized archives, manuscripts, paintings and other museum pieces. Further contents are data sets on palaces and castles as well as maps, photographs and information on places, institutions and people. High-resolution scans show images of objects, paintings and texts from the Bavarian cultural area. Selected exhibits from Bavarian collections are presented as three-dimensional objects. This opens up new perspectives on the art objects: They can be moved back and forth, reduced in size, enlarged and rotated. The iOS app "bavarikon 3D" was programmed in parallel. Initially, the content of bavarikon essentially consisted of already existing digital copies; Since 2014, they have been continuously supplemented with additional objects that were specially digitized as part of the project. In March 2017, the first virtual exhibition of the culture portal bavarikon with the title "Martin Luther and the Reformation in Bavaria" went online. Since then, bavarikon has regularly presented new exhibitions.

prehistory

The core of this was the Bayerische Landesbibliothek Online (BLO), which has existed since 2000 and went online in 2002 , a cultural and scientific information portal with electronic offers on the history and culture of Bavaria. The BLO is a joint project and is supported by six Bavarian libraries under the leadership of the Bavarian State Library . It has cooperation partners from other sectors with archives, authorities, museums and universities as well, but this concept, u. a. due to the name "library", only rudimentary. The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek therefore developed the idea of ​​a cross-disciplinary cultural portal in cooperation with the chairman of the scientific advisory board of the BLO, Ferdinand Kramer . Politicians took up this idea. Prime Minister Horst Seehofer finally announced in his government declaration of January 25, 2012 the establishment of an internet presence within the framework of the Bavarian Culture Concept, at that time still under the working title “Digitales Kulturportal Bayern”. On September 26, 2012, the decision was made by the cabinet. One of the goals was to get a beta version online as quickly as possible. After a very short development phase, this prototype went live on April 16, 2013. On May 11, 2015, the portal was brought into regular operation on a consolidated technical basis, with new features and a continuously increasing scope of digital objects.

Holdings

The content is provided by the participating partner institutions. In the beginning, these were the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation , the Bavarian National Museum , the Bavarian State Library , the Bavarian State Painting Collections , the Bavarian Administration of State Palaces, Gardens and Lakes , the General Directorate of the State Archives of Bavaria , the House of Bavarian History , the State Office for Digitization , Broadband and Surveying Bavaria (formerly the State Office for Surveying and Geoinformation Bavaria), the Munich City Museum and the Regensburg University Library . Since going online, numerous other non-governmental institutions have been added. The presentation of a variety of content from new project partners is in preparation. The Leibniz data center of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences provides the servers on which the content and the technical infrastructure are stored.

Organization and financing

At the top of the project is a management level consisting of the State Ministry for Science and Art and the State Ministry for Digital. The decision on the basic direction of bavarikon as well as the digitization strategy for the future content expansion is reserved to the management level. It is supported by the bavarikon council, which currently consists of 14 members from Bavarian cultural institutions (archives, libraries, museums, state offices, etc.). He gives professional recommendations for the technical operation, defines criteria for the selection of the content and decides on the individual digitization projects. The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek is responsible for ongoing technical, editorial and organizational operations. In the 2013/2014 double budget, a total of 5 million euros gross was made available for construction and technical expansion. In the 2015/2016 dual budget, two million euros were earmarked annually for the further development of bavarikon, as was the 2017/18 dual budget. With the 2018 supplementary budget, the funds were increased to three million euros. As a result of the double budget 2019/20, parts of this approach were rededicated in permanent staff positions at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek.

bavarikon is part of the digitization strategy of the Bavarian state government and the master plan "Bavaria Digital II" of May 30, 2017.
