The Facing Srebrenica project is collecting both physical and digital images that depict daily life within the UN “Safe Area” of Srebrenica. The objective of the project is to gather photographs and videos from Dutchbat I, II, and III, with the aim of making them accessible to survivors and veterans as well as for the purposes of historical research. This visual material is vital to enhancing our understanding of the events and day-to-day realities within the Srebrenica “Safe Area.”

To ensure the preservation of this valuable visual heritage, the historical images will be digitized and archived by the Netherlands Institute of Military History and the Srebrenica Memorial Center using leading professional practices.

If you are interested in donating your collection, kindly complete the form that can be found by clicking here. Our team will promptly contact you within a four-week period.

“Nobody had anything left during the course of the war, and few of the people living in Srebrenica had a camera to take photos as mementos. The Dutch soldiers... could take such a photo, and of course, that means exceptionally much, a keepsake, a memory of the people who are no longer alive, no longer among us.”
