This archive contains a diverse collection of media that provides valuable insights into Democratic Kampuchea. The general digital repository features carefully curated items spanning multiple decades, with new content being regularly added to preserve and share this important information with the public, revolutionaries, and the simply curious. The items in the collection have generally been digitized by universities or other state institutions with varying quality.
The Communist Party of Kampuchea Archive houses a collection of party documents, interviews , speeches, and theoretical works dating generally from the fall of Phnom Penh to the 1990s. Our repository preserves firsthand accounts of the revolution, the Christmas War, the bombing campaigns of the late 60s and early 70s, and visual media that document the movement's history from the perspective of various party members.
This archive chronicles Cambodia's history from generally bourgeois perspective, featuring various monographs that capture the nation's cultural evolution and historical transformations. Our collection includes Michael Vickery, Laura Summers, and Philip Short, among other scholars and authors who are well-known in the field. Visitors can explore the digitized manuscripts generally in PDF form, although it is fairly easy to find other formats by searching by title/ISBN on Library Genesis or other such sites.
Our archive documenting the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, or the “Khmer Rouge Tribunal”, features mostly video documentation of the trials, although there is some textual accompaniment. Most of the videos featured here are quite long, so we have provided links to watch the videos on an externally-hosted platform, as opposed to downloading them locally to your computer (although this is still possible).
The Kampuchea Bulletin Archive preserves complete issues of this revolutionary periodical, documenting the official statements, policies, and perspectives of Democratic Kampuchea from 1975-1979. The collection contains digitized copies of newsletters, photographs, and translations that present the regime's official communications and propaganda to international audiences during this pivotal period. These primary sources provide the public with direct insight into how the Khmer Rouge government sought to represent itself to the world.
