OstDok: East Europe Documents online
The project OstDok, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG), aims to establish an online repository for documents relating to Eastern and East Central European history. Its goal is to make the findings of German research on Eastern Europe accessible to a wider audience and to increase the visibility of this research worldwide.
What we offer:
OstDok is the follow-up project to ViFaOst and will provide access to a range of scientific papers and other materials relevant to Eastern Europe, including:
- Publications by the project partners, retroactively digitized and archived in accordance with appropriate technical and bibliographical standards, which will be available and searchable free of charge
- A digital reading room with approximately 80 standard works
