The Charter 87 Archive was very kindly donated to UEL in late July 2007 by a former director of the organisation.Charter 87 was in existence between the years 1987 to 1997 and was concerned with the human rights issues pertaining to refugees and asylum seekers.Charter 87 also sought the incorporation of the 1951 UN Convention on the Status of Refugees into British Law.
The archive collection itself consists of approximately 3 feet of shelf space.Incorporated within this are minutes of the Charter 87 Steering Group; records of correspondence predominantly with the Home Office; records of the organisation’s newsletter and occasional publications and files of press cuttings relating to asylum seekers and refugees.This information can also be found on DANGO (Database of Archives of Non-Governmental Organisations) at:http://www.dango.bham.ac.uk/record_details.asp?id=906&recordType=ngo
The Charter 87 collection is available for consultation in the archive room but has yet to catalogued onto the library’s online catalogue. However, online descriptions for this archive can be found on both the AIM25 and Archives Hub websites along with details of all our archival collections held at UEL.
