The Jamaica Reparations Movement (JaRM) archive of papers, booklets, newspapers and other materials collected by reparation advocate Barbara Blake-Hannah since first starting JARM in 2001, was handed over to the National Library of Jamaica on June 7. The archive represents a record of the work done in the first years of Jamaica’s official call for reparation, and the collection will now be available to students and researchers on reparations, and on Jamaican political history, for all time. Here (from left), Beverley Lashley, national librarian, accepts the donation in the presence of Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Olivia Grange, while Blake-Hannah looks on.
