This panel discussion brings together archivists and other practitioners to consider the role and responsibilities of human rights archives in preserving historical memory, pursuing justice and facilitating reconciliation and historical dialogue in post-conflict societies. Speakers will share personal experiences and best practices drawn from their work with human rights documents and with archives.

The panel is organised by the "Policies and Practices in Access to Digital Archives: Towards a New Research and Policy Agenda" SUN course.
