REPAC is a digital history research project conducted at the Institute of History of the University
of Bern. The project's data is formed by the matriculation registers of European universities in
the period from 1250 to 1550. The registers usually contain the names and places of origin of
the students as well as the date of matriculation. This initial data will be enriched in the research
database with biographical data on the subjects studied, professional activities and written work.
The aim of the project is to create a knowledge-based prosopographical foundation for research
into the activities of scholars in pre-modern Europe. This includes the reconstruction of
knowledge and communication spaces, which will be supported by map and network
visualisations. Although the focus is on pre-modern history, it addresses very contemporary
issues of knowledge production and circulation. Studies of scholars and their careers, for
example, can answer questions about the construction, cohesion and change of political and
social systems of societies. The REPAC project examines such questions exemplarily for
various European spaces and regions, especially for the phase from 1300-1550 under the
conditions of the many upheavals and crises, but also innovations in politics, administration,
culture and economy.
