Datasets to the ABK Catalog 30-03-2026

This dataset contains the archive catalog of the Alevi-Bektashi Cultural Institute (ABK) in Cologne in various file formats. The catalog data is available as a Citavi database project, as a CSV sheet, and as XML and BibTex files. This catalog provides a comprehensive overview of its holdings and how they can be used. It comprises four main sections: printed works, manuscripts, audio, image, and video recordings, and the ABK's institutional archive. The aim of the catalog is to make it easier for users to access the archive's materials. Particular value is attached to the unique manuscripts and audiovisual materials. The catalog is based on a continuously updated bibliographic database maintained via Citavi. The catalog is geared toward the needs of research and the community and ensures low-threshold yet well-founded access. Overall, the catalog is intended as a dynamic and participatory tool for scientific, cultural, and social engagement with the heritage of Alevism and Bektashism.
