For the first time, all the existing geographical and chronological data about communities of Dhimmis under Muslim rule have been gathered together into one Database. Over 8,300 pieces of evidence at more than 440 locations are part of the database. They are visualized on a map, a timeline and displayed in various tables. Various filters, such as time, location, religious community and source allow detailed inspection of the data. Results of the research remain accessible as a report and can be referenced. Our presentation will introduce the research environment and the underlying concepts, explains some of its features - and its shortcomings. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:118%;mso-ligatures:none'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:118%;mso-ligatures:none'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:118%;mso-ligatures:none'>Register in advance for this virtual event at </span></b><a href="https://bit.ly/3SDY4ie"><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:118%;mso-ligatures:none'>https://bit.ly/3SDY4ie</span></b></a><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:118%;mso-ligatures:none'>. </span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:118%;mso-ligatures:none'>After registering, you will receive an email containing information about joining the event.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-ligatures:none'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:118%;color:windowtext;mso-ligatures:none'>For additional information please email ds@ias.edu.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:118%;color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
