This hands-on workshop invites a mix of human rights practitioners, lawyers, archivists, usability experts and software developers dedicated to human rights investigations. Their common aim: to hold perpetrators of abuses to account, to preserve stories of what happened to victims, and to record histories of change for communities.  With old tools being retired — the sunset of Martus was announced in 2018 after 15 years — and the technological landscape developing at a rapid pace, this session will provide an opportunity to define the way forward in an inclusive and collaborative manner. What is more, new initiatives like Digital Evidence Vault, Uwazi, OpenArchive, Check, Montage and ELMAP are already being developed with an eye for interoperability, so that human rights defenders and investigators can bring together suites of tools when and as they need them.  This workshop will model how this interoperability can be actualised by focusing on collaborative work in four scenarios: mobile documentation and cross-border analysis, evidentiary requirements for information management tools, verification tools and long-term preservation, source analysis and case-building.
