This project shares experiences and insights of a multi-institutional team of library scholars from the United States (U.S.) and Ukraine to document the crimes of Russo-Ukrainian war (February 2022-now). The project aims at documenting war crimes against civilians and libraries. It also aims at bringing direct experiences of the war to an American scholars, students and general public. The project employs participatory archiving methods of data collection and analysis. The stakeholder community members include librarians from multiple regions of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Library Association is a partner engaged in collection, appraisal, and description components of archival processes. The U.S. researchers are engaged in creating platforms to preserve, classify and disseminate the knowledge, via physical and digital art exhibits and an open source archive in two languages. By doing so, the project adds to the struggle to end the war toward preventing future violence.
