Fund Description :
The project to digitize brochures of collaboration movements was financed by Belspo (Federal Science Policy) and carried out by a private firm.
Because of their frequent consultation, these brochures are often in poor condition, which fully justifies their digitization. Only their digital version can be consulted. This has a great advantage: as was the case with the wartime press, the brochures are OCRized, which facilitates research: the reader can search for any word in the text.
Why collaboration? As financial means were limited, a selection had to be made. The choice went to the brochures of the Second World War collaboration movements, and first of all to those of Rex and the VNV. Their interest is undeniable. Moreover, thematically, they are close to the wartime press.
