The DAM-LR project aims at virtually integrating various European language resource archives that allow users to navigate and operate in a single unified domain of language resources.This type of integration introduces Grid technology to the humanities disciplines and forms a federation of archives.It is the basis for establishing a research infrastructure for language resources which will finally enable eHumanities.Currently, the complete architecture is designed based on a few well-known components and some components are already tested.Based on the technological insights gathered and due to discussions within the international DELAMAN network the ethical and organizational basis for such a federation is defined.
