Abstract
Abstract: The last three decades have seen an increasing recognition of the potential of historical commissions as a tool to address the legacies of the past in contexts where social and political unrest and divisions are historically deeply rooted. Given their broad definition, historical commissions enjoy great flexibility in terms of how they carry out their investigations. This article analyzes the activities of the Historical Memory Group set up in Colombia in 2007, which adopted the historical memory paradigm, characterized by a combination of archival research and oral testimonies, as a core aspect of its investigative work, and argues that this paradigm provides a useful methodological approach to be included in the wide range of tools available to historical commissions.
