Historicising Humanitarian Action: Synchronicity in Historical Research and Archiving Humanitarian Missions

Bertrand Taithe, Fabrice Weissman, Mickael Le Paih

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This roundtable was convened on 5 July 2022 and built on five years of collaborative work in Cambodia and ongoing collaborations within the Centre de Reflexion sur l’Action et les Savoirs Humanitaires (CRASH) at Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) between Bertrand Taithe, Mickaël le Paih and Fabrice Weissman. The central question raised in this discussion relates to two profoundly intermeshed issues for humanitarian practitioners and organisations: the use of history for humanitarian organisations, and the need for them to preserve and maintain archives.
