CRL holdings include 543 rolls of microfilm containing court documents (processos) from Brazil’s Military Supreme Court. These proceedings document the cases of over 7,000 persons arrested, charged, convicted, or executed by the Court between 1964 and 1979. The official records, which were copied in secret, document human-rights violations by the military government in Brazil during this period.
CRL also possesses a microfilmed copy of the six-volume report Projeto 'Brasil, Nunca Mais', which serves as an index to the court records.
