The Grossman Study Centre and Its Digital Library

• In Event: New Perspectives on the Biography and Works of Vasily Grossman: Archival Discoveries of the 2020s

Abstract

The paper presents the Grossman Study Center, founded in Turin in 2006, and its Documentation Center, a digital library project that serves as a comprehensive repository of Vasily Grossman’s works and scholarship about him. The Documentation Center explores how the systematic digitization and open access to primary and secondary sources facilitate the creation of the most complete biography of Grossman and foster in-depth research on his writings. More broadly, the Study Center represents a model of a research hub that generates diverse forms of academic dissemination and scholarly resources.
