With the end of the year upon us WASM is creating a space to reflect on the Trump era, with a particular emphasis on 2020. To that end we are amassing a primary source collection for students and researchers to study in the future.  

We are interested in collecting written testimonies about how COVID-19, BLM and other social movements, recent changes to the Supreme Court, and the historic election have shaped people's views and lived experiences.

ONLINE RESOURCE: Obtain access to the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies

Although testimonies from the Fortunoff Video Archive have already informed inumerable scholarly and popular works, many of the collection’s more than 4,400 voices have not yet been heard beyond a small circle of family members and researchers. Until 2015, researchers needed to visit New Haven to use the collection. Now that the collection is  digitized, this is no longer the case.

To mark its 15th anniversary, The Journal of Power Institutions in Post-Soviet Societies (PIPSS - https://journals.openedition.org/pipss/)  is launching a new project: "SOVIET & POST-SOVIET WARS: AN ORAL HISTORY PROJECT"

Soviet & Post-Soviet Wars: An Oral History Project
