The Center for Human Rights Documentation & Research Announces Partnership to develop an Archive on the Legacy of Conflict in South Asia

The Archive on the Legacy of Conflict in South Asia is a collaborative initiative between CHRDR, the Columbia Institute for the Study of Human Rights (ISHR), and the Armed Conflict Resolution and People’s Rights Project (ACRes) of the Center for Social Sector Leadership (formerly Center for Nonprofit and Public Leadership)—Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley. The Archive will serve as a repository for documentation of gross violations of human rights and conflict in South Asia, with a focus on India in the latter half of the 20th century and 21st century. This pilot documentation project seeks to improve access to unique and primary source materials, especially those that are currently inaccessible or at risk of disappearing.
