The project "Intoxicating Spaces" (https://www.intoxicatingspaces.org) traces the impact of ‘new’ intoxicants – opiates, tobacco, sugar, coffee, tea, and chocolate – on Europe’s urban spaces between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Three years in the making, and conceived as a digital scrapbook, the exhibition brings together over 1,000 exhibits, or ‘scraps’, from archives, libraries, and museums that illuminate this process in our case study cities of Amsterdam, Hamburg, London, and Stockholm. Designed to be used for research, teaching, or simply general interest, the exhibition provides an innovative and easy way to explore and compare the entangled histories of intoxicating spaces in the Baltic and North Seas.
At this online launch event we will briefly introduce the resource and its relationship to the project, explain how to get the most out of it, and tell some of the stories told through its scraps.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
