Sponsored by AHRC Language Acts, this project brought together Colombian NGO, Armando Armero, with a Leeds MA Student in Translation and Interpretation to translate the NGO’s website and digitize archival materials.

Armando Armero is a non-profit organization that has been working to rebuild the historical memory of the Colombian town of Armero for more than ten years, after the eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in 1985. One if its missions is to reunite disaster victims with missing relatives.
