A little report on my first digitization project. So I completed making pictures of each page of the archive for Ukrainian Red Cross Abroad, 1939-45. You see it all in the box. It took me six working days. Now the new step - text recognition and playing with AI tools for output.

[Severyan Dyakonov @Severyan]

I am up to digitizing the archive of the Ukrainian Red Cross in Exhile that existed in Geneva 1939-1950. A lot of co tradictory stories there.

If you’re interested in the Soviet Red Cross, it’s mission in India in the 1950s and 60s, and how the USSR sought to redefine humanitarianism in a socialist way…

Что-то тут грустно совсем. Подсововуют какие-то посты коммерческие и политические. Пятьдесят просмотров делают.

Thank you #ECAS2025 for the chance to share my work! It was especially entertaining to be hosted in the building where my research events happened in 1961. More in Socialist Medical Dev in the decolonizing world in OA special issue
