Online Encyclopedia of Mass Violence

"This Encyclopaedia Project aims to create a regularly updated electronic database focusing on massacres and genocides of the 20th century. Currently, there is no tool available that documents and classifies our knowledge by continent, country and historical period. The Encyclopaedias first objective is to fill this gap by offering reliable historical description and interdisciplinary analysis of both well-documented and less well-known 20th century massacres.
Such a unique database will not only be valuable to scholars, but also the NGO community, international legal experts, policy makers and journalists. Anyone seeking a reliable account regarding a specific case of massacre, in a particular country or on an exact date will now be able to locate the information on the Encyclopedia.
The Online Encyclopedia provides chronological indexes, case studies, analytical contributions on socio-political violence in a given country, a glossary of the terms most often used in genocide studies as well as theoretical papers written by the most representative authors in the field.

This global project has been initiated by Professor Jacques Semelin, Research director at the Center for International Studies and Research (CERI) with the support of Sciences-Po Paris and the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS France).

Along with the associate editors in charge of the development of the website’s geographical and thematic content, an International Academic Advisory Board of the pre-eminent scholars in the field, will insure the quality and relevance of the posted data and will work vigilantly against any attempt to manipulate this website or exploit it for communitarian, political or ideological purposes." - by INOGS
