Presentation

The GLOBALVAT project is linked to the five-year-EFR program ARCHIVESPIE12. This project seeks to access data of exceptional value to history and the social sciences – namely, the Vatican archives on the pontificate of Pope Pius XII, opened in 2020 – and to harness it as a resource for twentieth-century world history. Beyond the Second World War and purely ecclesiastical matters, this previously unseen collection sheds new light on a wide range of subjects and places, which the project will study with regard to a central issue: how did the Catholic Church commit to rebuilding a world destroyed by war through its involvement in numerous areas, from the reorganization of international relations to the redefinition of human identity? The project aims to answer this question by using a multi-scalar approach to study three areas – the international system, the regulation of society, and human identity – and will also include the creation of a cross-cutting database.

Led by an experienced and close-knit multidisciplinary team and backed by a consortium associating the École française de Rome and the LARHRA (CNRS-UMR 5190), the GLOBALVAT project aims to provide a resource and training platform that will enable the French research community, in collaboration with its network of colleagues abroad, to play a pivotal role in this international field of research.

The project will span four years (2022-2025): it supports field research in the Vatican archives, fosters international scientific cooperation (monthly general seminar, thematic conferences), elaborates tools to facilitate research into these complex archives including through digital humanities (database Udienze on Pope XII’s audiences), organises training of young researchers and delivers a wide range of resources.
