From the collection
These are the Rohingya old documents about the land and personal identities and others carry pieces of Rohingya history.Their worn pages, faded writing, and official stamps reflect records passed down through time. These documents hold stories of families, their roots, and their connection to the land-Myanmar.Every paper carries a story of belonging, dignity and the rights we believe every human being deserves. Preserving them is important for future generations to understand and learn about Rohingya history and identity. Old documents may fade with time, but the history and memories they carry should never be forgotten. As Rohingya, our history deserves to be documented, preserved, and remembered.
