Researching captured documents at IWM
Any of the board menbers that have researched the holdings of captured German documents at IWM?
It seems that a large amount of captured documents were taken from Norway and other former occupied places after the capitulation in 1945 and sent to UK for evaluation.(https://www.iwm.org.uk/sites/default..._Documents.pdf) Firstly, I do not know how much of the documents that have survived until today after the first postwar initial dissemination. Have also heard from other historians that it is hard to hire locals to do research jobs at IWM because of the location and short openings hours, also the staff does not respond to copy requests. I have done several searches on the IWM archive site (https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections) , but it looks like that there is a large discrepancy between the digitized and the analogue index catalogues in IWM unlike the situation at TNA Kew. Can someone confirm or refute this last claim? Last edited by TormodChristiansen; 6th April 2023 at 20:15. |
