In this unit, students become active archivists, gathering photos, artifacts, and stories for a museum exhibit that highlights one decade in their school's history.
Le pouvoir des archives se penche sur les archives «?traditionnelles?» de la Colombie-Britannique, celles qui s’enracinent dans les pratiques coloniales européennes et qu’entérinent l’État, les universités et d’autres institutions issues de la colonisation. Les documents conservés dans ces dépôts d’archives privilégient les récits de la culture dominante et perpétuent ainsi la répétition de récits biaisés. Ce film met en question les pratiques archivistiques habituelles. Il encourage le public à s’interroger sur ce qui n’est pas dit, à faire place à une pluralité de voix et à trouver de nouvelles façons de traiter les archives.
**Le film est en anglais avec sous-titres en français.

Unarchived examines “traditional” archives in British Columbia, those rooted in European colonial practices upheld by government, academic and other settler institutions. Records preserved in such repositories centre and privilege the stories of the dominant culture, perpetuating the re-telling of biased histories. This film challenges typical archival practice and encourages the viewer to question what is not being told, to make space for diverse voices and to build capacity for alternative archives.
