Europeana (Web)

A comprehensive dossier on „Family Matters: How the 20th century changed family life“ with seven individual chapters on different topics was published on the Europeana website. The chapters contain highly interesting historical image and even some video (!) sources from all over Europe.

Description: „If we’d ask you to share a picture of your family, we’d end up with a breathtaking gallery with all kinds of constellations of people forming a network of love and support. One word, a million meanings: family stands at the very core of our existence. Looking back at the 20th century as a Century of Change, this exhibition explores different family concepts and discourses, zooming in on important events that shaped our homes and lives.“
