Thematic Research Guides

Thematic Research Guides are introductory guides to archival material, structured thematically around either one or many archival collections. The Guides enable digital access to archival holdings in a transnational, multilingual and comparative framework. They allow for virtual access to relevant historical material across national and institutional borders, drawing together information on dispersed and relocated material that belongs to the same historical context. The Guides present primary sources from different geographic areas and countries, in a variety of languages. They highlight research questions and topics that are best suited to exploration in a federated, virtual environment, where connections can be drawn across wide geographical and institutional boundaries.
