The Historical Dictionary of Switzerland (DSS) is enriched with an entry on the Locarno Treaties signed by Rodolfo Huber, archivist of the City of Locarno. The new article, translated into German, French and Romansh and accompanied by a rich iconographic apparatus, will be presented to the public during a conference that will be attended by the author, municipal authorities, the City of Locarno Cultural Services and the editorial staff of the DSS.

A freely searchable online multimedia dictionary on Swiss history compiled according to scientific principles, the DSS thus completes the wide range of entries to reconstruct Switzerland's position and role in the difficult period of the first half of the 20th century.
