A number of Gulag sites have come or returned to my attention recently, so this is a quick round-up of the best (for reasons I won’t go into, I’m rather short of time at the moment and the longer posts I’m trying to write are somewhat behind schedule). I’ve not included the virtual museums I featured in a previous post<\/a>, or Mapping the Gulag<\/a>, which I discussed in relation to the BASEES conference<\/a>\u00a0in 2010 that saw the website launch.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Sound archives: European memories of the Gulag<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is a fascinating project. The French academics involved are introduced and interviewed here<\/a>, and this is an early review<\/a> of the website.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0The Gulag project<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0A new site that already has some interesting conceptual maps. I look forward to seeing how it develops.
\nSee also the three parts of the Gulag infrastructure project on The Basement Geographer: the Road of Bones<\/a>, the Road of Death<\/a>, and Norilsk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Geologist to Geologist<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0The link is to the section that deals specifically with Dalstroi, although a lot of this interesting but occasionally slightly odd website is concerned with the Gulag and Kolyma; a number of Shalamov’s stories, including ‘Geologi<\/a>‘, confirm the importance of geology to the development of the camp system.<\/p>\n

4. Butugychag<\/strong>\u00a0Part 1<\/a>\u00a0and part 2<\/a> of an evocative two-part photo essay about the best preserved camp in Kolyma, from the excellent Ask Magadan<\/a> website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
