Chernobyl Archive: Adi Roche on the journey from muddy field to UCC home 

Adi Roche seen on April 3, 2016, in Vesnova village near Glusk, Belarus.

Climbing into a container in a muddy field in Kilkenny to retrieve a major UN exhibition on Chernobyl was one of the final archival retrievals Chernobyl Children International founder Adi Roche made last week.

She has now donated a ‘people’s archive’, which traces the grassroots peace movement that began in Cork but also helped to protect lives in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia following the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, to University College Cork.
