Since work began on the project Portal Städtegeschichte.de in 2013, the IStG has been affiliated with the working group Regional Portals (AG Regionalportale). This “Working Group of German-Language Portals on Regional History and Local Studies” hosts an annual conference where all members can discuss news, questions, and innovative approaches to developing their digital resources in regional history.

Further information on the project and its conferences can be found on the homepage of the working group.
