Mises Academy

[Brice.A]

Je viens d'apprendre l'existence de la Mises Academy (academy.mises.org).

Les cours semblent être intéressants, et compte-tenu de la difficulté pour trouver une formation à l'école autrichienne en France, je me dis que le format Moodle est une bonne solution.

 

Est-ce que l'un d'entre vous a eu l'occasion de tester ce programme ? Le cas échéant, j'aimerais beaucoup avoir votre avis

Il y en a qui ont tenté l'université du Mises Institute sur place. Je vais les laisser se dénoncer.

C'est autre chose, mais:

After his death more than 50 years ago, famed economist Ludwig von Mises’ papers and library were entrusted to Grove City College, home of the country’s leading undergraduate Austrian School economics program.

 

The 20,000-page archive has yielded a raft of academic papers, journal articles, books, and more in the decades since, but only for scholars who could make the pilgrimage to the College and put in the hours and days necessary to study Mises’ letters, manuscripts, monographs, and notes in person.

 

But that is about to change. A years-long effort to fully digitize the archive was recently completed and now scholars can access the documents online – anywhere, anytime – at gcc.historyit.com .

 

The Mises collection is a magnet for visiting scholars, according to College Archivist Hilary Walczak ’09, who oversaw the digitization effort and fields regular requests for items from researchers around the world.

 

“Usage, or the desire to use it, is high. Having it all online creates a valuable resource for the economics community,” she said. “Prior to digitization, it could take months for us to meet a request for a researcher. Now we can provide these resources to everyone.”

 

Getting the collection online is a significant moment for students of the Austrian School and Mises, according to Dr. Jeffrey M. Herbener, chair of Grove City College’s Department of Economics. “By giving access to interested scholars around the world, the Mises digital archive will stimulate new lines of research on the Misesian approach to economics,” he said.

 

The Mises Digital Archive promises to contribute greatly to Mises and Austrian School research. “The Ludwig von Mises collection at Grove City College is one of the most important scholarly collections of original material anywhere in the world,” Fuller said.

 

Grove City College became home to the Mises collection in 1978 when the economist’s widow Margit von Mises sought out Sennholz to make the College the permanent home to his papers and library.

 

The College has been working on digitizing the collection in-house for years. Last year funding was provided to complete the job, and 90 boxes of documents were shipped to Portland, Maine, where they were processed by HistoryIT, a digital archive service.
