Facilitating Archival Research on the Study of the Turbulent 1940s
An online discussion on the particularities and challenges facing digital archives and collections holding resources from the 1940s.
An online discussion on the particularities and challenges facing digital archives and collections holding resources from the 1940s.
In the context of the Greek Infrastructure for Digital Arts, Humanities and Language Research and Innovation, APOLLONIS, a designated Task Force led by DCU/IMSI/ATHENA R.C., focuses on identifying and supporting the workflows that researchers need to follow to perform specific research while jointly accessing disparate archives. Using the decade of 1940s as a use case, a turbulent period in Greek history due to its significant events (WWII, Occupation, Opposition, Liberation, Civil War), the Task Force assembled digitised historical archives from different providers to shed light on different historical aspects of these events. When this work is finalised, users of APOLLONIS will be able to explore this content in new and innovative ways, with access to different and disparate archives as well as to curated and enriched resources. Moreover, the users will be offered different curation and content analysis workflows, which they will be able to perform themselves both within and outside the infrastructure.
