Bosnian Atlas of War Crimes (Atlas) is a Geographic Information System (GIS) which uses Google Earth technology and presents the facts about the 1992-1995 war in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina in an innovative and unconventional way. At the same time, the Atlas has an educational purpose because it offers access to the facts on mass murders, rapes, victims of war, court verdicts, as well as access to the data on destruction of religious, cultural and historical heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Atlas also presents a digital memorial for all victims of the recent war no matter their ethnic, religious, political and social affiliation. On a digital map of Bosnia and Herzegovina, researchers, scholars and anyone who is interested can access to information from the RDC Database and another resources about locations of mass murders, rapes, destruction, as well as information about the war events in every part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
