New or Noteworthy
- Amnesty International Archives: A Global Movement for Human Rights 1961-1991 Archival records of the International Secretariat of Amnesty International from the period of 1961-1991. The collection covers a wide range of human rights concerns and issues such as migrants and refugees, mass atrocities, minority rights, political prisoners and prisoners of conscience (POCs), torture and the death penalty. The documents in Amnesty International Archives—which include administrative documents, correspondence, financial records, interview transcripts, minutes and agendas, press releases, and more—allow researchers to follow not only the influence Amnesty International had on the global human rights movement in the late twentieth century, but also to chart the internal growth and development of the organisation through the first three decades since its founding in 1961.
