Blinken Open Society Archives

The Vera and Donald Blinken Open Society Archives (Blinken OSA) at Central European University is both a repository of collections primarily related to the history of the Cold War and international human rights violations, and a laboratory of archival experiments on new ways of assessing, contextualizing, and presenting of archival documents. Blinken OSA advocates open access, equal rights to information, the ethical use of private data, open formats and open standards, and broad access to cultural heritage. For Yerusha, Blinken OSA has surveyed its Jewish-related materials in its close to 7,500 linear meters of records, including its rapidly-growing audiovisual collection.
