CARLA is a digital research environment about people at the Leipzig Conservatory from its founding in 1843 until 1918. The database contains data and documents regarding students, teachers and other members of the Leipzig Conservatory from the collection of the archive of the University of Music and Theatre "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" Leipzig. The data is interlinked to create networks between people and attended subjects. In addition, further resources about the recorded people are referenced, e.g. Wikipedia, RISM.
