The Humanitarian Archive is a unique partnership between The University of Manchester Library and the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute. The DHM Archivist, Flora Chatt, introduces the archive here.

The purpose of the archive is to provide a permanent home for the endangered private papers of humanitarians, the archives of small humanitarian organisations, and cultural artefacts associated with humanitarian work from the 1960s onwards. The DHM project will contribute to the archive by:

Existing deposits include Tony Redmond, UK-Med, Elizabeth Wilson, and The British Mission in Saigon. More information on each, and other archives in the field of humanitarianism available at the John Rylands Research Institute and Library, can be found on their website.

Carousel of images from the existing deposits (sent separately in a zipfile labelled ‘Archive pictures for website’. There’s a text document with each image that has the name and attribution, which we should display in the carousel, too. These images could also be used elsewhere on the website).
