An interfaculty centre that focuses on the evolving interaction between religion, culture and society in Flanders – in its Belgian and international context – from 1750 onwards. The history of education occupies an important place in KADOC’s continuously growing archival and library collections and in the research the Centre carries out. The main focus is on the history of Catholic education in Flanders / Belgium, in its international context. KADOC conserves a rich collection of archives that are valuable for historians of education.
A general overview of archives at KADOC is available in the ODIS database (Online Database on Intermediary Structures). ODIS not only provides basic information about those archives, but also about the organisations and persons that created them (authority records).
