Archivists are the ferrymen and women of history. A bit like Charon, we guide forgotten names to their resting place but unlike him, we revive them back towards the light so that they can be heard again. #Archivist

Wise and important words from Agnès Callamard, Sec Gen Amnesty International.
This so-called "Board if Peace" 'lays bare a brazen disregard for international law and human rights.'
