Humanitarian archives are disappearing, and most of us don't notice until it's too late.

As organisations restructure, budgets shrink, and digital infrastructure fails, decades of operational knowledge quietly vanish. The Humanitarian Archives Emergency project is a collective effort to map humanitarian archives and datasets at risk of loss. If you know of a humanitarian collection, adding it to the registry takes under five minutes.
