Abstract This chapter presents the research project VerbaAlpina funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The project investigates the specific Alpine lexis in the multilingual Alpine region where different dialects and languages from the Germanic, Romance and Slavic language families are spoken. This chapter focuses on the methodology used to transfer analogue data from traditional linguistic atlases and dictionaries into a digital format. The method used enables, for the first time, the representation and comparison of traditional geolinguistic data within a digital and multilingual research environment open to the public realm.
