Big Ideas Series: The role of archives in addressing refugee crises

This presentation provides an overview of a project called
‘Records and ICT at the Boundaries of the State: Refugee Needs,
Rights and Uses’ which looks at the ways in which
archivists  in affected countries
might use digital systems design to identify, protect
and certify the records of refugees. 


It’s presented by Anne Gilliland (UCLA Center for Information
as Evidence, University of California) and James Lowry
(Liverpool University Centre for Archive
Studies, University of Liverpool).


Our Big Ideas seminar series is funded by the Friends of The
National Archives.
