The After Violence Archive was created in 2021 with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. It serves as an online repository for materials (interviews, correspondence, art, and other items) documenting state-sanctioned violence in the United States, collected by Texas After Violence Project and our community members from 2007-present. These materials help us understand the impacts of state-sanctioned violence on individuals and communities, and to move towards futures that do not rely on retribution and punishment. 

We encourage all visitors to read our Statement on Archive Contents before engaging with these stories as a means to promote the wellbeing of visitors and contributors.

To submit materials to the After Violence Archive — as an individual or as a prospective partner collection — please contact us at archive@texasafterviolence.org
