Ethnodoc

Ethnodoc is a virtual specialist library for minority studies which systematizes, standardizes and digitizes various material. It covers the countries, nationalities and minorities of southeast Europe and some neighbouring areas.
Data on 166 ethnic, linguistic and religious minority groups in 21 countries and regions have been collected.
Ethnodoc is classified in seven categories; because of the way the database is structured, the data entries can be linked with each other as required and can thus be researched. (See also the index of search terms.)
