"Nuremberg trial records made available online after painstaking 25-year project

Launch of digitisation project marks 80th anniversary of start of legal effort to bring Nazi leaders to justice

A fully digitised collection of the records of the Nuremberg trials is being launched online to mark the 80th anniversary of the start of the groundbreaking legal effort to bring Nazi leaders to justice.

Open access to every official document from the trial, held by the Harvard law school library, will be available to all researchers, whether amateur or professional, for the first time from Thursday after a 25-year endeavour by a 30-strong team of historians, metadata curators and librarians.

It began in 1998 with the removal of staples and paperclips from the delicate documents so they could be scanned."
