Welcome! This libguide introduces you to the holdings of The Human Rights Archive at the Rubenstein Library. The Human Rights Archive builds collections of primary sources that tell the modern history of human rights across many different international and thematic contexts. Our collections consist of personal papers, organizational records, and rare print materials that document human rights advocacy of grassroots organizations and transnational NGOs, religious and political leaders, human rights advocates and artists.
The Human Rights Archive's holdings are consulted in the Rubenstein Library at Duke University. Learn how to register as a Rubenstein researcher, search the catalog, understand a collection guide, request materials, and access our collections at the Rubenstein Library's Research Page.
Here are some helpful resources for those new to archival research:
