Research Data Repositories
Do you want to import your research data into a research data archive for long-term storage and don't know which one is suitable for your data? We can help you!
TextGrid Repository
The TextGrid Repository is a long-term archive for research data in the humanities. It provides an extensive, searchable and reusable collection of texts and images. In line with the principles of Open Access and the FAIR principles, the TextGrid Repository was again awarded the CoreTrustSeal in 2024. For researchers, the TextGrid Repository offers a sustainable, permanent and secure way to publish their research data in a citable manner and to describe it in an understandable way using the required metadata. Read more about sustainability, FAIR and Open Access in the TextGrid Repository mission statement.
To the editions and collections in the TextGrid Repository
The majority of the texts are encoded in XML/TEI as well as in plain text format, thus enabling a wide range of subsequent uses. The holdings were built up with the acquisition of the Digital Library and continue to develop on the basis of the TextGrid community. Thanks to numerous editing projects, both manuscripts (images) and transcriptions (XML/TEI-encoded text data) are available.
The content is therefore partly project-specific and grows over time. The basis is an extensive corpus of world literature from the beginning of printing to the 20th century consisting of texts by around 600 authors: the Digital Library. This is literature that was written or translated in German. Nevertheless, the TextGrid repository has no language restrictions and foreign-language texts are published depending on the project context. All published content is freely accessible in accordance with the open access principle.

DARIAH-DE Repository
The DARIAH-DE Repository, a digital long-term archive for research data in the humanities and cultural studies, went live in December 2017 and was awarded the CoreTrustSeal in 2024. Each object described and stored in the DARIAH-DE repository is given a unique and permanently valid persistent identifier (DOI), with which it is sustainably referenced, cited and kept available in the long term. The DARIAH-DE Repository is part of the DARIAH-DE research data federation architecture and enables the sustainable and secure archiving of your data collections.
Search the collections of the DARIAH-DE Repository here
Data import is convenient and intuitive with the DARIAH-DE Publikator. Data in the DARIAH-DE repository is organized in collections. Such a collection is first created by the user via the Publikator and labeled with metadata. Any number of files can then be assigned to a collection, which are also uploaded via the Publikator and tagged with metadata. The data is initially stored in a storage area of DARIAH-DE Storage that is only accessible to the respective researchers, where it can be edited - even over a longer period of time - until the collection is released for publication by the researchers.
A published collection and all the objects it contains can be referenced with their DOI immediately after publication. The collection is indexed in the repository's Collection Registry during the publication process, so the data can be searched immediately after publication in the repository search as well as in the DARIAH-DE generic search.
The DARIAH-DE repository is available to DARIAH-DE associated research projects as well as to individual researchers and research projects that want to store their research data in a persistent, referenceable and long-term archived form and make it available to third parties. The main focus here is on simple and user-oriented access to long-term storage of research data.

GRO.data
GRO.data is a universal research data repository for the Göttingen Campus and all universities in Lower Saxony. It is managed by the eResearch Alliance, a joint initiative of SUB Göttingen and GWDG. Researchers with an affiliation to an institution of the Göttingen Campus or to a university in Lower Saxony can use it free of charge. GRO.data is based on the open source software Dataverse, which was developed at Harvard university and is being used worldwide.
GRO.data serves the storage and publication of research data in order to make them publicly accessible. Ahead of publication, datasets can be stored and described using several available metadata sets. Furthermore, GRO.data supports versioning of datasets. Upon publication of a dataset a persistent identifier (Digital Object Identifier – DOI) is being assigned, to uniquely identify the publication and make it citable.
The datasets in GRO.data are organised in so-called dataverses, which can be created for an institution, a project, a working group or also for individuals. The eResearch Alliance offers a monthly open online introduction to GRO.data (dates). The Göttingen Support Team of the eResearch Alliance will be happy to help you.
