In May 1926, in Geneva, scholars from numerous countries founded the Comit\u00e9 international des sciences historiques (CISH). In the aftermath of the First World War, this initiative sought to restore scholarly exchange and to establish a permanent framework for international cooperation in historical research. From the outset, it reflected a tension between national traditions and the aspiration to create a broader community of historians. Despite political crises, ideological divisions and global conflict, this network grew larger over the twentieth century. Through congresses, commissions and collective projects, CISH helped structure an international space for historical scholarship and gradually expanded its borders to include an increasing number of countries and specialised historical organisations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The volume<\/a> edited by Sacha Zala and Lila Zeller in the series Quaderni di Dodis from the Dodis research centre (Diplomatic Documents of Switzerland) presents 50 documents<\/a> and provides access to a total of approximately 340 documents through the Dodis database<\/a>, tracing these developments from 1926 to 2026. It brings together sources from several archives showing how cooperation among historians was organised, transformed and sustained across changing political and intellectual contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book can be downloaded as a PDF<\/a> or e-book<\/a>, or ordered as a print-on-demand copy on the Dodis website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
