Record linkage is the careful work of determining when multiple records refer to the same person.
In Sri Lanka, that means working across Tamil, Sinhalese, and English spellings; partial names; uncertain dates; and multiple locations.
HRDAG's Michelle Dukich explains the meticulous work of record linkage that allows us to gain insight from disparate, incomplete datasets.
HRDAG and the International Truth and Justice Project are working to bring those fragments together and start to tell the real story of what happened in Sri Lanka.
