Phase II of Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum Archives Preservation and Digitisation Project Launched

Effort Aims to Preserve History and Empower Youth in Cambodia
The Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, in partnership with KOICA and UNESCO, has officially launched the second phase of the “Peace Education Archives Preservation and Digitisation and Site Conservation for Youth Empowerment (PEACE)” project at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. The project aims to build on the success of the first phase by digitizing more historical records and enhancing cultural education to foster a peaceful society in Cambodia.

The extended project, with an additional US$3 million in funding, seeks to preserve Cambodia's cultural heritage and empower future generations through education and skills development in archival management and peace education. The project has gained international recognition, with countries like Rwanda and Timor-Leste seeking expertise from Cambodia's successful digitisation initiatives.
