The Vanishing Archive: UNHCR Archives’ Recovery and Preservation of the Records from the Former Yugoslavia
Abstract
In 2015, a major legacy project began in the Records and Archives Section to document, declassify, and preserve the records created by UNHCR staff during the Balkans Wars. Our internal estimation of the fax paper contained in this collection is around 20%, or 300,000 pages – all of which will be lost to time without intervention.
