David Chandler Cambodia Collection

This online collection contains a selection of materials from the David Chandler Cambodia Collection. The David Chandler Cambodia Collection is a major archival collection on modern Cambodian history comprising the personal research papers of Professor David Chandler, Emeritus Professor of History at Monash University and former Director of Monash’s Centre of Southeast Asian Studies. It consists of research materials collected for (amongst other projects) the monographs, Brother Number One: a political biography of Pol Pot and The Tragedy of Cambodian History: Politics, War and Revolution since 1945, plus diverse other published and unpublished materials relating to Cambodian history, including news clippings, U.S. State Department despatches and cables, and materials from the Documentation Center of Cambodia. Of particular significance are more than 250 transcripts of forced “confessions” of victims from the Khmer Rouge regime’s notorious S-21 (Tuol Sleng) Prison, some of which are in English translation.
