Newly Digitized Database Reveals the Lives and Families of Forced Migrants from Finnish Karelia
Studies on displaced persons often suffer from a lack of data on the long-term effects of forced migration. A register created during 1960s and published as a book series ‘Siirtokarjalaisten tie’in 1970 documented the lives of individuals who fled the southern Karelian district of Finland after its...

A register created during 1960s and published as a book series ‘Siirtokarjalaisten tie’in 1970 documented the lives of individuals who fled the southern Karelian district of Finland after its first and second occupation by the Soviet Union in 1940 and 1944.

The digitized register contains over 160000 adults and a wide range of data on births, marriages, occupations and movements of these forced migrants, likely to be of interest to researchers across disciplines including demographers, anthropologists, evolutionary biologists, historians, economists and sociologists. peerReviewed Article in Journal/Newspaper karelia* karelian JYX - Jyväskylä University Digital Archive |
