Summary
COVID showed that online access to information is crucial. Archival research, however, is usually analogue, limiting access. This project will develop a ground-breaking platform and make it available online. It will host two archives crucial for the understanding of the Danish engagement in Middle Eastern archaeology in the inter world-war period mitigating the lack of access to these documents.
