What’s UP at the Archives – October 18, 2023

In this feature documentary (1hr 24 m), co-directors Hayley Gray and Elad Tzadok explore through a collage of personal interviews, archival footage, and deeply rooted memories some of the efforts and challenges faced by Archives in British Columbia to preserve a more inclusive historical record. Featured are leaders from four underrepresented communities in Archives: Indigenous Peoples, South Asians, LGBTQ+ and Chinese-Canadians.

The film will be introduced by Archivist Val Billesberger who has endeavored to build an inclusive Archives in Mission, taking care to acquire and make accessible the records of historically excluded and minoritized groups.
