Welcome

The International Research and Archives Network for children’s and young people’s drawings exists since 2017. The network connects archives, collections and research institutes worldwide with the aim to investigate pictures made by adolescents. Here we find excellent sources for views of the world especially in times of crisis of the 20th century e.g. two World Wars, genocides, flight and expulsion. These sources are largely unexplored.

The network aims the research of children’s works to explore the formation of worldviews and their historical contexts.
