[OLD] HIST 150: Guatemala: 20th Century Visions of Change

GUATEMALA: NEVER AGAIN is the Report of the Interdiocesan Project "Recovery of Historical Memory" that analyzes several thousand testimonies on human rights violations that occurred during the internal armed conflict. This work is based on the conviction that, in addition to its individual and collective impact, the violence deprived Guatemalans of their right to speak.

The discovery of the National Police Historical Archive in 2005 opened an extensive and timely resource for the study of Guatemalan history and human rights. This site currently includes over 10 million scanned images of documents from the National Police Historical Archive. This digital archive mirrors and extends the physical archive that remains preserved in Guatemala.

This collection -- 5,120 documents (over 14,000 pages) -- chronicles CIA involvement in the 1954 coup in Guatemala.

The Guatemala News and Information Bureau (GNIB) was an activist and solidarity group based in San Francisco, California. The GNIB systematically collected a wide variety of materials documenting all aspects related to the civil war in that country. The result was an unparalleled archive of gray literature (published and unpublished documents, pronouncements, action alerts, press releases, flyers, newsclippings, correspondence, and other types of ephemeral material), serials, and policy reports. The Princeton University Library digitized over 11,000 items from the archive.
