Divisive Power of Citizenship and Loyality - the French case

This repository is an outcome of the Europa Institute Basel research program of the same name, funded by Swiss National Science Foundation under grant 100011_184860/1. It provides unrestricted access to sub-collections from multiple archival sources, representing persons documented by authorities in South East Asian countries between 1920 and 1945, including electoral and internment records. Although these datasets contain 'instances' of persons—often without accompanying information complete enough to identify individuals unequivocally—they are nevertheless official records providing precise data, and they have been designed to support automated discovery across multiple instances to build candidate individual person entities.
