A guide to the institutions that digitise, preserve and present Roma culture and history — where to find authoritative material on every topic in this section.
This library maps the major archives of Roma heritage. Each entry below describes what the institution holds, so you can research music, art, language, history and the memory of the Roma Holocaust from one place. These are independent institutions; RomaniWorld summarises and credits them.
