On the morning of the regime’s fall, Syria experienced a historic moment. Citizens flooded the prisons, govertemental institutions and the former presidential palace – now renamed the People’s Palace. The general atmosphere was marked by euphoria and collective celebration, driven by the hope of finding information about their missing loved ones. However, this popular surge quickly led to disorganization, which partly prevented the recovery and organization of the former regime’s administrative documents for their preservation.
