what's the thun-web?

Thun Web is the first digital version of the history of one of Europe's most significant noble families, a history that dates back almost a millennium.

The project, by the University of Innsbruck, compiles genealogical and family history sources with information about the history of the Thun-Hohenstein family and makes it available online. Contributions to the various aspects of the family's history, together with biographies of high-profile individuals, were collated academically and entered into an online lexicon The researched Thun family tree is linked to the lexicon and provides a clear overview for anyone who is interested in the varied and fascinating history of the Thun-Hohenstein family.

The aim is to build a network of members of the Thun family, with contemporary family members being able to learn about their own history and that of their ancestors, as well as being able to make contact with other family members.
