About?


This web project is a effort to record and publish the history of Jeanne d'Arc in hypermedia and networking. Not only offer general readers an intriguing and authentic insight into a past age, but also provide artists, historians, students, and theatre and film with a highly accurate source of reference material.

This project is displayed for educational or research purposes, and enjoyment of others. It's a non-profit (non-commercial) and non-religious & non-political site aimed at bringing the story of Jeanne d'Arc and Medieval Studies story to a wider audience.

Explicit goals are to provide accurate and balanced history with input from as many sources as possible and maximum access to the results worldwide. Its founding principle is to work together in as open manner as possible in producing a definitive history and historical archive about Jeanne d'Arc and some sources for Medieval Studies especially regarding the subject "The Hundred Years' War ".

One of the motivations for the creation of jeanne-darc.dk is the belief that historical information should not be locked away and viewed only by a privileged few, or those lucky enough to have access to a particular museum, but should be 'virtually' accessible to all via the internet.
