Trial access to Refugees, Relief and Resettlement: Forced Migration and World War II

By Sarah Gilmore, on 5 December 2023

UCL has trial access to Refugees, Relief and Resettlement: Forced Migration and World War II until 5th January 2024.

Refugees, Relief and Resettlement: Forced Migration and World War II chronicles the plight of refugees and displaced persons across Europe, North Africa, and Asia from 1935 to 1950, bringing together over 590,000 pages of pamphlets, ephemera, government documents, relief organization publications, and refugee reports that recount the causes, effects and responses to refugee crises before, during and shortly after World War II.

Documentation offers a first-hand record of the response of governments to various crises and shifts in policy; a chronicling of the aid work undertaken by NGOs and charities seeking to provide relief and aid in resettlement; and a recognition through individual narratives of the daily reality of the refugee experience. This archive enables researchers to examine not only the plight of those forced to resettle inside and outside their national borders, but also the many types of refugee situations that arose, from voluntary evacuations and the internment of individuals in displaced person (DP) camps to whole population transfers and the return of forced laborers.

Trial access to Contemporary Anthropology: Archaeological Fieldwork and Methods

By Sarah Gilmore, on 29 November 2023

UCL has trial access to Contemporary Anthropology: Archaeological Fieldwork and Methods until 28th December 2023.

Contemporary Anthropology: Archaeological Fieldwork and Methods brings together archival and textual material relating to archaeological excavations, methods, and practices from the late 20th century to the present day. It provides insights into the lives, cultures, and societies of ancient and not-so-distant civilizations through the analysis of material remains and artifacts from the past.

The Cusichaca Trust Archive, sourced from the Senate House Library, is featured in this collection. Led by archaeologist Ann Kendall, the Trust did numerous excavations in the South-Central Andes from 1980s-2010s. The archaeology, archaeobotany and ethnohistorical work of the Trust focused on human occupation of the area from the late first millennium BC, through Inca expansion and into the Spanish Colonial period.

Trial access to Sovetskii Ekran Digital Archive

By Sarah Gilmore, on 22 November 2023

UCL has trial access to Sovetskii Ekran Digital Archive until 20th December 2023.

Sovetskii Ekran Digital Archive (Soviet Screen digital archive) is a collection of the most prominent film magazine in Soviet history, published from 1925 to 1998. With a peak circulation of two million copies, it was the world’s largest film publication of its time. Available in a bi-monthly format, the magazine was very popular among film enthusiasts, disappearing from kiosks almost immediately upon arrival. Covering both domestic and foreign films, film history, and reviews, Sovetskii Ekran served as a source of insider insights, production secrets, and cultural impacts.
