IEHA Archives
In the past, the IEHA archives have resided in different places, for example in Amsterdam. The Secretary-General is currently in the process of creating a permanent base for the archives at the Appalachian State University's Library holdings. To that end, we will be collecting further materials pertaining to the past of the organization in the coming year.
Databases
Within the IEHA there has been an ongoing discussion of its role in the field of the collection of historical statistics and databases. The executive committee of the IEHA intends to foster the organization of central 'hubs' at which data bases of economic-historical statistics can be collected and made accessible for international-comparative research. Jan Luiten van Zanden is currently working on the establishment of a world wide infrastructure for economic-history research. Details of this project 'Towards a world wide infrastructure for economic-historical research?' can be found here and in Memo on 'Towards a world wide infrastructure for economic-historical research?'. The memo has been approved by the Executive Committee in May 2003. The Clio-Infra data portal is now available for public use: http://www.clio-infra.eu/.
