Our contribution presents an exploratory interface for accessing bio-bibliographical data on a data set of authors from the former GdR. The data has been collected within the research project Forschungsplattform Literarisches Feld DDR: Autor*innen, Werke, Netzwerke which carried out a wide and in-depth collection of biographical and bibliographical data of 344 persons who studied at the Institut für Literatur ‘Johannes R. Becher’ in Leipzig, an institute for literary writing. This specific focus provides a manageable comprehensive dataset, enabling detailed exploration and analysis of the biographical and bibliographical trajectories of these authors.
