The aim of the project is to publish an edition of the correspondence between Friedrich Althoff and Adolf Harnack (1886-1908), accompanied by an introduction, commentary, and index. At the present state of research the correspondence comprises 338 letters (245 by Harnack and 93 by Althoff) which have all been deciphered and transcribed in an electronic version. In his capacity as director of the first Department of Education Althoff was responsible for universities, libraries, museums, the preservation of historical monuments, and secondary education in Prussia. In turn, Harnack was one of the most influential academics and political scholars of Wilhelmine Germany. The correspondence, therefore, deals with central aspects of the history of science, education, universities, politics, and mentalities of that period. It is, therefore, a major source which can be used to investigate historical problems of various disciplines. The publication of this exchange is thus relevant not only for theologians interested in the history of their discipline, for historians of the modern period, or for social scientists focussing on the history of education and of the universities, but also for jurists, historians of administration, and ancient historians as well as gender studies. The correspondence, which covers almost a quarter of a century, allows an in-depth study of the expansion and diversification of German Higher Education in the second half of the nineteenth century. It shows in particular (1) that university administration was gradually professionalized and modernized due to the growing influence of Prussian bureaucracy on higher education; (2) that, as a result, the state control of the system of appointments of professors increased while the traditional autonomy of the universities in this area was increasingly disregarded; (3) that institutions for national and international academic cooperation were systematically expanded; (4) that certain academic disciplines were targeted for promotion; (5) that private funds were attracted for the sponsorship of research within and outside universities; (6) that, finally, Althoff had established an elaborate network of contacts which was typical of his working method.

该项目的目的是发表弗里德里希·阿尔托夫（Friedrich Althoff）和阿道夫·哈纳克（Adolf Harnack）（1886-1908）之间的信件版本，并伴随着介绍，评论和索引。在目前的研究状态下，信函包括338个字母（Harnack的245个字母，Althoff的93个字母），这些字母已被解密并在电子版本中转录。 Althoff担任第一教育部的主任，负责大学，图书馆，博物馆，历史古迹的保护以及普鲁士的中等教育。反过来，哈纳克（Harnack）是威廉德国（Wilhelmine Dermany）最有影响力的学者和政治学者之一。因此，该通讯涉及该时期科学，教育，大学，政治和心态的史的中心方面。因此，这是一个主要来源，可用于研究各个学科的历史问题。因此，这种交流的发布不仅与对他们学科的历史感兴趣，现代历史学家或专注于教育历史和大学的社会科学家有关的神学家，而且与法学家，行政学家的历史学家有关以及古代历史学家以及性别研究。该信件覆盖了将近四分之一世纪，可以深入研究19世纪下半叶德国高等教育的扩张和多样化。它尤其表明（1）由于普鲁士官僚机构对高等教育的影响不断增长，大学行政部门逐渐专业化和现代化； （2）结果，国家对教授任命制度的控制有所增加，而该领域的大学的传统自主权越来越被忽视； （3）系统和国际学术合作的机构有系统地扩展； （4）某些学科是针对晋升的； （5）吸引了私人资金来赞助大学内外的研究； （6）最终，阿尔托夫建立了一个精心设计的联系网络，这是他的工作方法的典型特征。
