Agenda

Join at the Commons for our next HiStories session! The Total Digital Access to the League of Nations Archives project (LONTAD) will transform research on multilateralism. The project, currently underway at the United Nations Library & Archives, is digitizing and providing online access to the entirety of the 15 million pages of these critical archives, which are inscribed on UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register.

Join us to learn about:
- The LONTAD project and some of the fascinating documents encountered
- The project’s new research platform and how to use it
- Why research about the League is crucial to understanding multilateralism
as practiced today
- The importance of democratizing access to materials on the League
- How creating digital archives is opening the door to the latest innovative
research methodologies that carry the potential to unlock new insights
