Scholars researching regions with ethnic and linguistic diversity as well as with a tumultuous history face a double challenge. On the one hand, one must be familiar with the history and with the particular linguistic and cultural heritage of the region in order to be able to conduct integrative research and not just perpetuate the oft one-sided discourses that have influenced academia throughout much of the twentieth century. On the other hand, the sources necessary for such work often lie scattered among local, regional and state-wide institutions, sometimes in different countries, and it requires true detective work just to locate them. Institutions (whether libraries or archives) across state boundaries often have no knowledge of regionally relevant holdings at other institutions.

The goal of the conference is to bring scholars across disciplinary and cultural boundaries together with librarians and archivists from regional institutions and to facilitate a mutually beneficial exchange through exploring specific ways of strengthening interaction and cooperation.

Among the issues and questions to be discussed are the following:

  • How to reconstruct regional histories when archival materials are scattered across institutions and state borders?
  • How can regional libraries and archives better facilitate research of regions and what feedback is necessary or helpful from researchers?
  • What are some best practice examples of cooperation between historical and archival institutions in Southeastern Europe?
  • How to avoid the pitfalls of producing ethnocentric and isolationist regional historiography and write inclusive regional histories – in part as a result of the limited availability of sources?
  • What forms of cooperation or exchange across national boundaries may be helpful in encouraging more regional research?
  • What are specific challenges that historians and archivists in multilingual and multicultural regions both face?

Istria with its diverse cultural and linguistic heritage is a perfect location for hosting this conference and is featured prominently in the program. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to explore and receive expert guided tours of the State Archives in Pazin and of the Library of the k. u. k. Naval Forces, which is a special collection held at the University Library in Pula.
