Many historical documents and objects testify to cultural movements and activities of dissent against communism in Europe. Some even contributed to the fall of socialist regimes in Europe. But such collections are widely dispersed and largely unknown by many.

The EU-funded COURAGE project is compiling as many cultural collections as possible in an online registry and database. The database will be both user-friendly and searchable.
