Htein Win

Last week, just before the 25th 8-8-88 commemorations and with a little help from travelling friends, we were able to return to Burmese photographer Htein Win 517 negatives which we kept and preserved for him during the last 10 years.

This particular set of photographs was concerned with the events and protests as they unfolded in 1988.

Before the negatives were returned they were all digitized in the Institute and so will remain accessible to researchers and others. A set of the digital copies will also be made available to Htein Win himself.
