Section

Amnesty International documentation and publications, 1999 onwards. Includes press releases*, public statements, publications, leaflets and campaigning postcards. Some of the publications held are available in print-out form only rather than finished format and are described as draft copies. Amnesty International began depositing papers in the Centre in 1974. Additions are made quarterly. From January 2000 the additions (including some papers dated 1999) are arranged according to Amnesty International's own reference system. Documentation received before that date was arranged under the Centre's own system with the reference MSS.34. The later deposits have therefore been differentiated as MSS.34B. Amnesty have created codes for all possible categories but not all codes have, as yet, been used. This catalogue lists those countries and sections that we hold material for, with covering dates, but itemises only a sample of our holdings (usually the more substantial pieces) as a vast number of short press releases and public statements are deposited. All are available to readers. Researchers wishing to order the complete set of releases concerning a country or section (including those items not listed below) can do so by quoting 034B/4/ followed by the appropriate abbreviation (e.g. AFR for Africa) and the country or section number (e.g. 12 for Angola), followed by year as required. NB: Amnesty's ref nos (and therefore the MSS.034B ref) have the year at the end AFTER the item no. * From December 2007 Amnesty started a new sequence for press releases for all countries - see MSS.34B/PRE [AMI/2/3].
