Documenting crimes against libraries and archives in Ukraine

Andras Riedlmayer | Kyrylo Kobtsev | Svitlana Kravchenko | Olha Krytska | Ms. Albertina Piterbarg 

Please join the SJSU iSchool for a free online symposium exploring the crimes against libraries and archives during the full scale invasion of Ukraine (2022-present). This discussion situates these crimes within the broader context of international law, UNESCO’s protection of cultural heritage, and efforts by library professionals to document the destruction of – and damage to- cultural sites and institutions.
