The Chagos Archive is an online archive dedicated to documenting the history of the Chagossian people and their exile. The website is collecting documents, photographs, videos, and other materials and sharing them freely online for anyone in the world interested in the Chagossians and their struggle to return to their homeland. We hope the Archive is especially helpful to Chagossians, lawyers, journalists, students and teachers, and other members of the public.
You can contribute to The Chagos Archive by emailing documents, photographs, videos, and anything about life in Chagos or in exile to: chagosarchive@gmail.com.
