Discover how ordinary voices—victims, witnesses, and the accused—were recorded in extraordinary detail, offering a rare glimpse into the social fabric, justice system, and everyday lives of the past.

This session will explore some of the stories behind the crimes and the invaluable role these documents play in uncovering hidden histories.
