    State of research and available sources

    National Archives of Belgium, Thursday 25th February 2010

    The records on the Second World War become increasingly accessible, encouraging researchers to delve into new research and to discover or rediscover numerous archive fonds. By contrasting these archives with the questions, the expectations, and the difficulties researchers have to face, this study day aims at drawing attention to the great richness of the sources available.

    Restoration of war archives utterly needed!
    As inheritor of the “War Archives” and having being active during and after the Great War, the State Archives keep an impressive number of archives and documents of the First World War, among which are also several thousand posters. The historic value of these posters is beyond question. They have in fact been the most important and only means of communication between the authorities and the population during the Great War. These posters offer a deep insight into daily life under the occupation. The preservation and accessibility of the posters poses a problem however.
