A 90 GB copy of Prof. Graßhoff's Intenso drive: 31,248 scans made November 2025 – March 2026 on a Nikon Coolscan (slides, 4000 dpi) and a flatbed (cards, drawings, books, 600 dpi). Four research complexes are physically interleaved in the Kisten; the archive is presented here as catalogue, facsimile and, for the 64 transcribed volumes, as DTD-valid PDAI documents in the document viewer.

The MOTIVKARTE (Kiste 01 + 02) is the iconographic index to the Indonesian plates; the FUNDKARTE (Kiste 03) is the Tall al-Ḥamīdīya excavation record. Series assignment comes from the catalogue, never from the folder name.

Card references

19,289 transcribed field values and 3,312 cross-references (abb 1,957 · verweis 1,338 · band 15 · querverweis 2) link the cards to the published plate numbers.
