About Cheddi Jagan Research Centre
The Cheddi Jagan Research Centre (CJRC) was officially opened on March 22, 2000. The CJRC is dedicated to making available to Guyana and the world, the very rich collection of materials which captures the visionary thoughts and revolutionary ideas of the late Presidents of Guyana, Dr. Cheddi Jagan (1918-1997) and his wife Janet Jagan (1920-2009).
The CJRC’s aims and objectives are to publish material and promote research on the life, work and ideas of the Jagans which is intertwined with the history of Guyana as a whole from the early 1940’s to the late 1990’s. These include:
1. The struggle against the British to end colonial rule through political independence.
2. Governing for the benefit of the Guyanese people in the colonial period in 1953 and 1957 to 1964 and as the 1st democratically elected President of independent Guyana from 1992-1997.
3. The international struggle for an end to poverty and inequality through a New Global Human Order.
Moreover, the collections (papers, documents, photographs, audio and DVDs), much of which has been digitalised and accessible on website: jagan.org is indispensable to any analysis of Guyana’s post-war social, economic and political development.
The CJRC hosts seminars and discussions on issues of national and international significance and publishes a magazine The Thinker.
