In cases of genocide, other countries, groups, or organisations are almost always complicit in the systematic destruction of a group of people. This may occur through active financial, political, or military support, or through passive complicity by turning a blind eye and failing to intervene.
As part of the AHM/ASCA research initiative Critical Audiovisual Heritage (2024–29, University of Amsterdam), this one-day workshop takes our audiovisual collections as a case study to explore how large-scale digitisation reshapes access, reuse and collaboration around political and social-movement-related audiovisual materials.

The Posthumus Conference takes place on 21 and 22 May 2026 and is hosted by IISH-researcher Ulbe Bosma and his team. Sven Beckert, Laird Bell Professor of History at Harvard University, will deliver the keynote lecture at the conference.
This afternoon, we place archives in the ‘Faro’ spotlight. The focus is not on paper and data, but on the people the archives are about and those who create them. It highlights the social role — the “value of archives for society”, referring to the subtitle of the Faro Convention. The symposium pays considerable attention to the recognition of community and private archives, their relationship with public archives, and the role of the archivist.
