Ateneo Martial Law Museum & Library

A digital archive of documentary, literary and visual records, exhibits, and teaching resources related to the period of Martial Law in the Philippines

Library

The digital library features different kinds of sources—primary, secondary, literary and visual—that depict and analyze various aspects of the Martial Law period. It also includes website links to library collections and organizations, all with the goal of preserving historical truth and memory.

Exhibit

The museum section will feature immersive exhibits that shed light on the abuses and atrocities of the Martial Law era. It will also serve as a space where we honor and remember the stories of those who fought against the Marcos dictatorship.

Education

The education section features specially-crafted lesson plans and other teaching materials that highlight the values of human rights, freedom, democracy and engaged citizenship through class activities, engaging storytelling, and various forms of media.

These are considered raw data as they provide raw information and first-hand accounts of historical events, usually written or produced by people from the time period who had direct experience or connection to these events.

These are books and materials that offer analysis and synthesis of historical events, often through the interpretation of primary sources.

For this section, we are exhibiting an enormous variety and range of documentary and audio-visual sources, which are artistic and interpretative.

This section includes data and materials collected and accumulated by various governmental and non-governmental organizations who operated during and after the extended period of Martial Law in the Philippines.
