Yugoslavia Archive Project (YAP)

The Yugoslavia Archive Project (YAP) is both a curated collection and an archival research lab of the Blinken OSA Archivum (the Archivum), which comprises over 35,000 records covering the historical changes in the socio-political, economic, and cultural landscape in the Yugoslav region from WWII to 2010. The collection brings together text, still and moving image and sound records in multiple languages in analog and digital format from across the archives.

The YAP collections were donated by international human rights, media and philanthropic organizations, such as Physicians for Human Rights, the United Nations Expert Committee on Investigating War Crimes in the former Yugoslavia, the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights, the American Refugee Committee, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the International Monitor Institute and the Open Society Foundations, and private donors, including the American Journalist David Rohde or political scientist and human rights activist Lara J. Nettelfield.
