Translations:Value of Digital Archiving for Civil Society Organizations/14/en

The digital archives created during conflict or violent regime rule can be used to achieve peace, support victims and potential targets of violence, and enhance democratic processes. Digital archives are often developed and leveraged in post-conflict and post-authoritarian periods as important tools for transitional justice processes, as they are used to inform and teach about the violent past, fight impunity, and support truth-telling, memorialization, and reparation programs. This often includes the development of educational programs and resources, the establishment of museums and documentation centers, and support for projects aimed at improving victims' rights or advancing reconciliation processes. Digital archives are also used for academic research, media reporting, and artistic projects dealing with the violent past.
