Archives Made Easy (www.archivesmadeeasy.org) is an online guide to archives around the world. The website serves the global research community by providing transparency of the costs and processes involved in an archive visit - the kind of information researchers need to know beforehand in order to avoid costly mistakes and delays.

A new initiative from the LSE's Department of International History, the website harnesses the experience of researchers in a free and open-access environment.

The site currently covers archives all over the world, and is constantly growing. So far, content has come from the doctorate students of the International History department and their colleagues at various universities worldwide.

Researchers of all levels are warmly welcome to submit a review on any archive, or simply to update an existing review.
