An editorialised wiki on the history of the Reichsuniversität Straßburg’s Medical Faculty
The wiki project entitled “Biographies autour de la Medizinische Fakultät der Reichsuniversität Straßburg 1941-1944" is both a database and a digital publication for collaborative, interactive and evolving information, teaching and research. The Rus~Med wiki is run by the University of Strasbourg and is an initiative of the Independent Historical Commission on the History of the RUS Medical Faculty (CHRUS). Published in open access, it is non-commercial, of public interest and designed according to scientific and historical academic standards. It is an editorialised wiki, in that only the members of the editorial committee are authorised to amend its content and all data entered are scientifically validated and reviewed by experts before being published online and made public.
