Open and Free Access Materials for Research

In response to libraries and archives being closed during the lockdowns in 2020 the IHR launched this page to steer researchers to freely accessible online research resources. We continue to update the page as part of our remit to help researchers nationally and internationally. We're also asking you for additional recommendations to make this resource as useful as possible.
