The Refugee Council Archive at UEL was initially established and developed by The Refugee Council
in London before moving to the University of East London in November
2002. The Collection is housed within its own suite and contains in
excess of 35,000 items. For students and researchers of forced migration,
the Archive represents a primary research tool containing a range
of resources including published books and journals, newsletters,
published and unpublished repor
ts, grey literature, articles and statistics. Please remember to check our photocopying and copyright regulations prior to making or requesting any photocopies.
In addition, the Archive plays a very important role in assisting the research needs of both staff and students working within The Refugee Research Centre and for students undertaking the MA in Refugee Studies at UEL. The multidisciplinary scope of the Archive accurately reflects the research needs and interests of both the staff and students and helps to encourage a refugee-centred approach to the understanding of forced migration.
Further information and a current awareness service can now be found on our Refugee Archives blog and our Refugee Archives wiki. The new brochure for the MA/Postgraduate Diploma in Refugee Studies is now available online. To download - please click here.

Paul V. Dudman, (Archivist - p.v.dudman@uel.ac.uk): Paul has been the Archivist for the Refugee Council Archive at the University of East London since November 2002, corresponding with the arrival of the Archive at UEL. He originally trained and qualified as a librarian after completing an initial degree in history and it was this interest in history that eventually led to his decision to become an archivist. The Refugee Archives have now grown to include a number of collections, including the Council for Assisting Refugee Academics, (CARA), and this has enabled Paul to develop an interest in both the use of archives in the support of academic research, the role of archives in relation to human rights, and also how archives can be used to help tell and record for posterity the stories of marginalised communities. Paul is currently completing his postgraduate Masters degree in Archives Administration, with a dissertation topic on “Minority Groups, Minority Archives? Are Refugee Communities Adequately Recorded in the Archives of East London? A Case Study . Paul is also keen to embrace the new Web 2.0 technologies which are now available to help develop new ways of making user-friendly content available to a wider community.
