ARCHIVE OF TOPONYMS

A digital toponymic database has been created in the Archive of Toponyms and Proper Nouns since 1984, in which the toponyms appearing in the language manuscript collections of the Center (approximately 200.000) have been integrated. This material has not been published and constitutes perhaps the largest collection so far, while it is being enriched with 3.000 toponyms per year. Until now approximately 46.000 toponyms have been entered in the database. One of the future actions involves the addition of toponyms appearing in written sources in order to create a thorough toponymic corpus.
