The links within this resource are arranged by broad subject categories, based on those used by WEBIS Sammelschwerpunkte (areas of collection emphasis) as well as by format, genre, or multidisciplinary categories. This inventory is a gated wiki and members are encouraged to add new links as new digital projects are developed and become known.
The Bildarchiv der Deutschen Kolonialgesellschaft, hosted by the University of Frankfurt Library, is an online, fully searchable archive of 50,000 nineteenth- and early twentieth-century photographs once owned by the German Colonial Society. In October 2003, GNARP received a request from colleagues in Frankfurt to help make the site searchable in English. Helene Baumann of Duke University, then the GNARP contact partner for African Studies, volunteered to lead the effort. With a Coutts Nijhoff grant from the Western European Studies Section (WESS) of ACRL, Baumann has launched a project with Frankfurt Africanists that aspired to establish global searches of historical archives of African colonial photographs in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States.
The Bibliographic Control working group engaged in a cooperative international undertaking to translate the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2) into German. Roger Brisson, then-Coordinator of the German Resources Project; Heidi Hutchinson, librarian at the University of California–Riverside; and Monika Münich of the University of Heidelberg Library coordinated the effort. The translation project was completed in 2002 and published by Saur Verlag: Anglo-Amerikanische Katalogisierungsregeln (ISBN: 3-598-11432-X).

Through its Collection Development Working Group [5], GNARP facilitates licensing of specialized electronic resources [6].
CRL negotiates on behalf of GNARP institutions to license specialized German-language databases for members of GNARP. The GNARP Collection Development Working Group [5] plays an active role in identifying databases of interest to GNARP and identifying the subscription terms that would be acceptable to GNARP institutions.
GNARP currently facilitates subscriptions for its members for the electronic resources listed below:
The Bibliographie der deutschen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft [8] (Bibliography of German Language and Literature Research) was started in 1957 by Hanns W. Eppelsheimer of the University of Frankfurt and continued by Clemens Köttelwesch. It is the largest and most authoritative index of published research on all areas of German philology. Long available as a hard-to-use CD-ROM, it went online in 2004 as a joint project of the Frankfurt University Library and the German publisher V. Klostermann.
Bibliography of Linguistics Literature Online [9] currently has 300,000 citations, with 10,000 added annually. Articles in journals and collected studies are included from fields of general linguistics, English, Romance languages, and German and other languages to a lesser degree. The search interface is in English.
The Datenbank-Paket Duden [10] is a suite of reference sources in German, containing works by major German publishers Duden. 17 titles are included in the package.
DigiZeitschriften [11] is the premier collection of backfiles for German scholarly journals. Modeled on JSTOR, DigiZeitschriften is a collaboration of German libraries and publishers supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and hosted by the Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen. As of 2014, the archive contains 200 German academic titles in 19 subject areas, including 500,000 articles and 6 million pages. Additional material is added monthly.
The WBIS [12] database is the fulltext version of the microfiche collection consisting of 24 "archives," compilations of entries from biographical dictionaries pertaining to various countries and regions.
