Description
The aim of this project is to develop contributions to a handbook on Lower Austria in ‘the short 20th Century’, edited by the Provincial Archive of Lower Austria. Two contributions deal with the political and economic development of the Lower Austrian agricultural sector. Another article offers a comparative analysis of selected agricultural regions in Lower Austria. All contributions are fundamentally based on primary sources used already in a preliminary project: the files of the Lower Austrian Bezirksbauernkammer.
