The Nuremberg Tribunals Project is excited to announce the launch of its new website.

Our team at the Harvard Library Innovation Lab and the Harvard Law Library’s Department of Historical and Special Collections has been working hard the past year to create a new, rich, flexible and visually appealing discovery and viewing experience for our 750,000-page Nuremberg Trials archive. The archive materials comprise the full document record for all 13 Nuremberg Trials, held at Nuremberg 1945-49. Of those, so far the project has been able to process the materials for 5 of the 13 trials and make them available online. The documents include all trial exhibits, source materials from which most of the trial exhibits were selected, and the full day-to-day proceedings for each trial as recorded in the trial transcripts. Also included are several hundred annotated photographs taken of the trial proceedings.

We’ve been working hard on our Private Talking Spaces effort. Lots of thinking about how to create equity in shared spaces in libraries. Lots of thinking about how to increase focus for folks talking on phones (and maintain the focus of those around them not talking on phones). Lots of thinking about where private talking spaces might be located in libraries. So much thinking!!
