The Legacy of Gust Graas

Dominique and Jil with Kit Graas during the handover of the archives.

In October, Dominique Santana and Jil Gaertner visited Kit Graas to pick up archival material. We received three bags of photo albums, sketchbooks and her father’s diaries. We were invited to her residence where she and her husband handed over her father’s material to us. Afterwards, we went to the Digital History Lab at the University of Luxembourg to analyse the material together with our student assistant Florence Brekelmans and the head of the Lab Andy O’Dwyer. Over the next few weeks, everything will be carefully digitised at the Digital History Lab of the C2DH at the University campus in Belval.
