The Rohingya are not just the victims of a military genocide. They are active victims of a cultural genocide as well. There is a brutal ongoing campaign of erasing all aspects of Rohingya culture and history connected to their ancestral homeland and their civic participation in Burma since its independence. As part of its effort to protect the few remaining pieces of Rohingya ancestry, the Rohingya Project has launched the R-Archive.

The R-Archive is a digital repository of documents of historical value to the Rohingya people. These include passports and other identity documents, school certificates, old photographs, civil service certificates and others. Rather than be at risk of being lost or destroyed, the records of these documents were then stored on the  blockweave-based immutable archival system.
