OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The UN Archives Geneva platform gives access to the fonds and collections managed by the United Nations Library and Archives in Geneva, including the archives of the United Nations in Geneva, the League of Nations (1919-1946), international peace movements (from 1870), and private papers. It offers the possibility to search both the description of files or archival documents and in the full text of archival documents that have been digitised.
The presentation given by staff from UN Archives Geneva provides an overview on the archive categories they manage, with a focus on the League of Nations archival fonds and collections, including the LONTAD digitisation project. It explains the difference between archival and official documents, and describes the structure of the League of Nations archives. It also gives an introduction on how to use and perform searches on the UN Archives Geneva Platform. At the end of the session you will understand: the five archives’ categories; the distinction between archival and official documents; the organisation of the League of Nations Archives; and how to use the UN Archives Geneva platform.
