The objective of the three-year project, which started on 1 arch 2004 and is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), is to create a comprehensive database by recording the variety of archival resources relating to German-speaking refugees who arrived in Britain between 1933 and 1950 and whose papers are located in public and private British ollections.

This listing of the rich holdings of institutional archives and personal collections which are widely scattered throughout the British Isles will function as a useful research tool that can be consulted via the internet and therefore inaugurate a new era in migration research.
This international conference aims to further the dialogue between archivists and researchers as well as those working with databases. Selected papers will be published

Contributions are invited on the following themes:

- German-language collections in Britain and other countries of resettlement
- Collections in other languages relating to migrant communities
