DC-CAM KHMER ROUGE HISTORY DATABASE

 

 

DC-Cam is in the process of developing a searchable database of the documentation it holds. The database, whose document categories are still being developed, will contain information on:

Khmer Rouge notebooks, biographies of cadres and prisoners, confessions, reports, and execution logs.

 

Our database will employ Microsoft Access or a similar user-friendly format that will enable quick and accurate searches.

The database will also be an effective way to facilitate our current program of family tracing, whereby survivors of the Democratic Kampuchea era can search for information on lost loved ones.

 

In the interim interested readers can view three major databases contained in the Cambodian Genocide Databases:

 

  • The Cambodian Genocide Bibliographic Database (CBIB)

  • The Cambodian Genocide Biographical Database (CBIO)

  • The Cambodia Tuol Sleng Image Database (CTS).

 

These databases were set up in a collaborative effort by Yale University, DC-Cam, and the University of New South Wales. They contain detailed information on former Khmer Rouge leaders and cadres, and provide an organized information resource about the Democratic Kampuchea (DK) regime and many of its victims. Because these databases are Internet-accessible, scholars, legal personnel for the tribunal (both the prosecution and defense) and the general public in Cambodia and abroad can access them.

 

Please note that before any of the images from the CTS database can be reproduced, written permission must be obtained from either DC-Cam (dccam@online.com.kh) or Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (sopheara@bigpond.com.kh). Also, contact DC-Cam to obtain copies of data on CD-Rom or microfilm.
