The Community Memorialization Project is an archive of 320 village histories and life stories of individuals and groups, collected and archived to memorialize the experiences of violence and conflict in three Sri Lankan districts. Using the archive, the project creates opportunities for dialogue within and between communities on our country's past, and the future we as citizens want to create for it and the next generation of Sri Lankans.
