From backside postcard:

The Georg Eckert Institute produces the multilingual digital edition WorldViews. Cooperating with an international network of researchers, we provide original language textbook excerpts (with German and English translations) along with contextual material. Our edition shows different perspectives from around the world on national and global phenomena throughout history.

Its main attraction is the Research Library, with an internationally unique collection of textbooks from the areas of history, social studies / civics, geography and ethics / religion. With the information and communication portal Edumeres , the GEI provides virtual access to current information, publications and data from research on textbooks and educational media, organized into several modules.
