Historical Memory Project

The project preserves collective memory of people forcibly disappeared, tortured, massacred, and otherwise harmed by coordinated state actions. It maintains a publicly accessible, interactive online archive containing court files, forensic evidence, expert witness and oral testimonies, war photography, and journalism. Cultural and educational events, workshops, and seminars address state violence and human rights crimes. The work also engages immigrant and diasporic communities around shared identity and human rights activism. Its focus includes historical injustices in Latin America and beyond. Based at the City University of New York in New York City, the project connects with students, scholars, researchers, activists, and grassroots communities.
