infoclio.ch

Professional Portal for the Historical Sciences in Switzerland

Infoclio.ch was born from an initiative of the Swiss Historical Society (SSH) and of the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences (ASSH).
Its objectives are to develop a digital infrastructure for the historical sciences in Switzerland, to coordinate the principal players and institutions, to increase the visibility of Swiss historical research in the digital context, and to facilitate researchers’ access to digital and international programs.

  • reflects the potential and the problems of digital media for the historical sciences.
