Human Rights Archives
Census assembles information on the archives in this region
holding documents relating to human rights violations that
took place during military dictatorships. This initiative,
supported by the UNESCO office of Montevideo, intends to facilitate
knowledge and access to these documentary sources.
This census-guide gathers data from the archives of social
organizations and documentation centres, personal archives,
archives produced by repressive apparatuses of dictatorial
governments as well as those archives developed by democratic
governments via “truth commissions”, etc., with
the goal of facilitating information on the content, possibilities
of consultation, deadlines, the condition of the documents,
common projects, and infrastructure of each archive. We invite
you to participate and improve this tool. Keeping alive the
knowledge of our region through documentary sources is fundamental
so that NEVER AGAIN will terror and the attempts to erase
its tracks are made possible.
