At the heart of Global Witness Archive Foundation is a growing collection of first-hand testimonies, accounts, and evidence related to atrocities and human rights violations around the world. This archive exists to preserve history accurately, and to make these materials accessible for research, education, and public understanding.
What We Collect
Our archive includes first-hand testimonies from individuals and communities affected by human rights violations, supporting documentation and evidence, and materials that help place these accounts in historical and educational context. Every item is collected, preserved, and made available with care for the dignity of those whose stories it holds.
How the Archive Is Used
Materials in the archive support research, education, and historical documentation. They are made accessible through digital and physical archives to researchers, historians, educators, students, and members of the public seeking to understand human rights issues.
