Cooperation between human rights archives |

Memoria Abierta foments the cooperation between different
archives that contain information on the period of state

personal and institutional archives, always keeping

In addition, we participate in initiatives that facilitate
the accessibility of archives. One example of this work
is the Human
Rights Archives Census.
