Açıklama
As part of the The Archives Uncovered event series, the Hoover Institution Afghanistan Research and Relief Team and Library & Archives hosted a hybrid conference taking place on Thursday, April 9, 2026 from 1:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. PT in Shultz Auditorium.
This session includes the second panel discussion featuring Halima Kazem, Mahnaz Akbari, and Farahnaz Forotan, moderated by Jean Cannon.
Almost five years following the American and Allied withdrawal in August 2021, the need to process, reflect on, and learn from the lessons after two decades of fighting and foreign policy in Afghanistan remains imperative.
The Hoover Institution Library & Archives partnered with the Hoover Afghanistan Relief Team to document the important stories of Afghans, Americans, and others who took part in and experienced the war and rebuilding efforts in Afghanistan by capturing the stories and experiences of Afghans fleeing the country after the US withdrawal, the Taliban regime takeover, and the collapse of the Afghan government.
The collection of 450 hours of interviews is now available through the Library & Archives' Digital Collections portal: https://digitalcollections2.hoover.org/browse/collection/3249451?limit=10&sort=metadata.coll_id_seq_number.en.keyword&sort=-_score
The Archives Uncovered event series highlights the Hoover Institution Library & Archives’ recently acquired, preserved, and described library and archival material by exploring their contents, building connections to researchers, and tracing the role of history.
