Harvard Law School is planning to put more than a million documents from the Nuremberg trials on the Internet, allowing ready access to records of the historic proceedings that probed the war crimes of Hitler’s Third Reich.
The multimillion-dollar project, whose initial phase is already complete, is the most ambitious effort to date to post Nuremberg trial documents on the Internet, said Harry Martin, a Harvard Law professor and head librarian at the Cambridge-based school.
More than 6,700 pages of material from one of the trials, known as the ”Medical Case” or the ”Doctors’ Trial,” which involved 23 defendants accused of doing harmful or fatal medical experiments on humans, have already been posted, Martin said. [Boston.com]
