Nuremberg Tribunals Project: Trial 9
The
processing of Trial 9 of the Nuremberg Military Tribunals for open online
access, including 18,000 pages from approximately 3,600 documents related to
the Nazi mobile death squads known as the Einsatzgruppen.
The Harvard Law School Library
owns and manages approximately one million pages of documents relating to the trial
of military and political leaders of Nazi Germany before the International
Military Tribunal (IMT) and the subsequent twelve trials of other accused Nazi
war criminals before the United States Nuremberg Military Tribunals (NMT)
during the period 1945-9. To preserve the contents of these now-fragile
documents and to provide expanded access to this material, the Library has
undertaken a long-term, multi-stage digitization project, an open-access
initiative to create, present and make accessible the Library's full archive to
a broad audience, including the general public both in the U.S. and abroad,
high school and college students, and researchers in fields related to the
Trials. We are applying for funding for a one-year implementation grant to
support the work required to add an additional trial—Trial 9—to the current five trials we have already completed.
