• Mapping the Cultural Cold War

    Since the millennial turn, access to new archives has invigorated scholarship into the ‘cultural Cold War’, but archival information silos and the conflict’s global scope prevent researchers from viewing large-scale networks and relationships. We plan to design and implement a visualisation and database of linked archival authority records displaying relational information about figures and agencies within covert propaganda networks. Using Encoded Archival Context–Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families (EAC-CPF), the application will connect local record instances to archival repositories, allowing researchers to discover network connections and heritage materials related to state-sponsored cultural activities in WWII and the Cold War period.
