I am a professor of Latin American history with a focus on modern El Salvador. For scholars like me, along with my friends and colleagues in El Salvador, access to these documents is critical; it will enable us to construct a more nuanced -- and, therefore, realistic -- understanding of the country's recent past. This, in turn, will help us to more constructively address present-day issues.
