In these pages, the Vorderasiatisches Museum (VAM), Berlin, and the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI) are privileged to present online data sets documenting the largest cuneiform collection in Germany. The Curator of the VAM cuneiform collection, Joachim Marzahn, collaborated with current and past members of the CDLI to produce, in a project made possible by generous support of the Free University of Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, the catalogue, images and transliterations of what must be considered one of the most significant such collections on earth. Within the framework of an agreement of cooperation signed in 1998 by the umbrella organization Staatliche Museen zu Berlin–Preußischer Kulturbesitz and the CDLI, all cuneiform tablets of the 3rd and 4th millennia BC in the VAM collection were digitized, following procedures discussed in the methods pages of the CDLI. Catalogues and transliterations have been completed for the Late Uruk, the Early Dynastic IIIb and the Ur III periods (ca. 3350-2000 BC), constituting a nearly complete coverage of the early collection that encompasses over 6000 documents. A full inventory of the collection is currently in preparation.
