Famine Archives

Famine Archives are collections of documents, records, and historical materials that document periods of widespread food shortages and starvation, often caused by natural disasters, war, or economic collapse. These archives preserve personal stories, government reports, photographs, and other evidence that help researchers and the public understand the causes, impacts, and responses to famine. They serve as vital resources for studying history, informing policy, and honoring those affected, ensuring that lessons from past famines are not forgotten.
