Refugees, Relief and Resettlement: Widening the range of our digital resources

20 Jan 2025

We are pleased to announce the acquisition of the complete 'Refugees, Relief and Resettlement' series from Gale.

A key resource for the study of forced migration and the history of refugees, this series collates a wealth of primary material such as legal briefs, refugee reports, government documents, manuscripts, pamphlets and letters, from a wide range of sources including the U.K. National Archives, the British Library, World Jewish Relief, and the US Department of State.

About the series

Refugees, Relief and Resettlement comprises two parts addressing refugee crises across different chronological periods; Forced Migration and World War II and The Early Cold War and Decolonization.

It deals with a significant topic of global concern and is of value to students and researchers across a range of disciplines and research groups including Migration, Refugees and Asylum, Humanitarian and Conflict Response and Histories of Humanitarianism.

This new addition enriches our collections of primary source materials in this challenging research area. These include both digital resources such as Border and Migration Studies (part of the Global Issues Library) and Post-war Europe: Refugees, Exile and Resettlement, 1945-1950, and physical materials housed within our pioneering Humanitarian Archive at the Rylands. In addition, it aligns with the University's ongoing commitment as a University of Sanctuary.
