In partnership with the National Film Board, the Ottawa Asian Heritage Month Society cordially invites you to the documentary screening of “Unarchived” on Saturday, May 13 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Ottawa Public Library, Main Branch, 120 Metcalfe Street. Ottawa Premiere. Free Admission
Description
A feature-length documentary about the people and places often left out of traditional archives and museums, and the communities who are challenging this erasure.
“Unarchived” surveys the inspiring work of community archives across BC, including those of South Asian Canadian, Chinese Canadian, Tahltan Nation and LGBTQ2+ communities.
In “Unarchived”, we see how the stories of early Chinese Canadians are told through the history of Cumberland’s Chinatown, one of the largest Chinatowns in Canada by the end of WWII, and the records now held in the Cumberland Museum on Vancouver Island; how the stories of early South Asian Canadians are told through the history of Paldi, a vibrant multicultural community founded by Mayo Singh in the Cowichan Valley in 1917, and the archives now kept at the University of the Fraser Valley; how since the 1970s Run Dutton has been the keeper of the BC Gay and Lesbian Archive in his small Vancouver west end apartment; and how in 2021, Sandra Marion, the Director of Cultural Heritage at Tahltan Central Government, traveled from Telegraph Creek to Victoria to discuss the repatriation of Tahltan Nation artifacts held in the Royal BC Museum.
