A recent posting on the Archivists Watch blog provides a link to the video of renowned human rights archivist Trudy Huskump Peterson who appeared at the Wilson Center to discuss her last publication entitled Final Acts.
The Archivists Watch posting states :
“The Wilson Center ON DEMAND posted a video of Trudy’s appearance. In it Trudy filters her expansive experiences in constructing, examining and improving archives all over the world with post-conflict trauma and regime change, largely related to cases in Egypt where destruction of archives has definitely occurred. Trudy readily admits she is not so optimistic about reconciliation but believes in transformation and institutional reform. She shares her views on the involvement and sometimes ostensible role of state archives in protecting violations of human rights and humanitarian law. Trudy also discusses the different bodies of justice and courts which are currently supported by the work of archives worldwide.”
