Archival sources | Reinventing the Foundations of European Legal Culture 1934-1964

During the Reinventing the Foundations of European Legal Culture 1934-1964 project, we have accumulated archival material from a number of archives. These include private correspondence, notes, and drafts of publications. We have made the personal research notes of our researchers publicly available at Zenodo, as well as the archival material itself when the archive has permitted it.

Zenodo enables safe storage of research data. The research data is stored safely for the future in same cloud infrastructure as research data from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider and using CERN’s battle-tested repository software Invenio, which is used by some of the world’s largest repositories such as INSPIRE HEP and CERN Document Server. In addition, Zenodo assigns all publicly available uploads a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to make the upload easily and uniquely citeable. Zenodo further supports harvesting of all content via the OAI-PMH protocol. Zenodo is integrated into reporting lines for research funded by the European Commission via OpenAIRE.

We are happy to share the archival material not saved publicly in Zenodo with other researchers. If you’re interested in the archival material we have, please contact the project director, Professor Kaius Tuori (kaius.tuori@helsinki.fi), and let him know which archive(s) you’re interested in.
