The “Central Asian Memoirs” project aims to significantly widen the spectrum of Central Asian voices in the historiography of Soviet Central Asia. Due to a dearth of truly consultative sources related to the region’s output of memoirs, most researchers gain access to a limited and essentially random collection of texts from the region. By collecting and digitizing this body of memoirs, this project makes these unique sources available to historiographical enquiry in a systematic and more complete fashion. At the moment, the site mostly hosts memoirs from the post-war period in Tajikistan.
