Socorro Juridico Arzobispado (IDHUCA) San Salvador records

 Collection
Identifier: COU:1490

Scope and Contents

The case files and the reports and publications received from Socorro Jurdico Arzobispado (IDHUCA) arrived in the form of loose paper in boxes. Post-it notes had been used to divide the loose paper according to months and years, but the post-it notes did not always indicate if the files represented asesinados, capturados, or desparecidos. Quite often the post-it notes had fallen off and were loose in the boxes.

There is considerable duplication of material in these files. The materials have been arranged as follows:

I. Case Files - Topics: Asesinados; Capturados; Desaparecidos; Expediente; Libres; Otros; and Persecusion Represion - "L" Case Files (from "Libros"?) - "T" Case Files (from "Testimonios"?)

II. Reports and Publications
