The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) Digital Archive provides access to a range of documents and other records associated with the work of the ICTY. The result of an ongoing collaboration between Dodd Impact, the UConn Libraries, the Connecticut Digital Archive, and individual scholars, witnesses, and others involved in the Tribunal, the ICTY Digital Archive seeks to make the work of the tribunal accessible to researchers, educators, students, and others. The project continues to work to identify, evaluate, process, and make available additional materials with the goal of advancing a better understanding of the work of the ICTY and the history of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia.
