Collections
Understanding a collection, what its main components are, and what its most important analytical and interpretational features consist in, are all important to analysing the meaning of particular documents or traces. Information needed for this is provided here. The information accessed via the links below contain interpretive overviews of the work carried out on the main collections, sketch the analysis made and indicate the key features of interest arising. The overviews therefore provide the first-level analysis of the data in each collection, while the Traces and Curiosities pages analyse specific documents in depth.
