Researching Genocide and Modern Slavery in Asia and the Pacific: Home

Genocide and slavery are as old as the history of mankind. However, it is still relatively new to document genocide, slavery, or other types of mass atrocity at the time of their occurrences, so is the effort to hold to account those individuals who plan, order, perpetrate, or aid and abet the commission of such crimes. This online resource center provides research guides to those who are pursuing research projects on episodes of organized mass atrocity in modern Asia/Pacific.

Research topics and sources on this online resource center are meant to be illustrative, not comprehensive. Please contact subject or area-specialist librarians for further information on other research topics and resources.

This video provides basic instructions on using OneSearch, the library's main discovery tool.  More information can be found in our Learning Skills page.
