Featuring: 

• Dimity Hawkins (Nuclear Truth Project, Australia)
• Alan Owen (LabRats International, UK)
• Karina Lester (Yankunytjatjara-Anangu community leader, Australia)
• Dr Chris Hill (University of South Wales, UK)
• Dr Jon Hogg (University of Liverpool, UK)

Building on the Nuclear Truth Project’s Challenging Nuclear Secrecy report (2025), this international collaboration brings together affected community members, nuclear justice advocates and organisations from the UK and Australia. 

The webinar will explore barriers to accessing nuclear archives and expose the power of community-held memory.

Focusing on British nuclear weapons testing in Australia and the Pacific (1952–1963), the discussion will focus on archival access as a core part of nuclear justice, victim assistance, and environmental restoration.

How do communities impacted by nuclear weapons testing overcome systemic barriers to accessing official records of harm to Peoples and Country? 

Join us to learn how memory is held — and fought for — by those most affected.
