Documentation and analysis of psychological states experienced by witnesses and survivors of catastrophic events is a critical concern of psychological research.

The Narratives of War (NoW) corpus additionally contains demographic and geographic data on respondents, as well as their scores in tests of PTSD symptoms and moral injury.
