The Issue
Canada’s archival records have little in the way of capturing the history and legacy of Muslims in Canada.
The Project Objective
Establish professional-grade, community archives that serves the unmet needs of Canada's Muslim populations. The archives will help document, preserve, and share the long-standing presence and contributions of Muslims in Canada. Additionally, the archives' primary source materials can power the creation of narratives that more accurately reflect the everyday realities and experiences of Muslims and Muslim communities.
