From the Sir George Williams Computer Riots of the 1960s to the 2012 strikes against tuition hikes to recent encampments in Palestinian solidarity, Montreal students have organized against universities that systematically prioritize profits over human rights and accessible education. These movements produce posters, flyers, journals, banners, zones, and other ephemera. But who gets to preserve this crucial history?
Archivists from QPIRG Concordia, QPIRG McGill, and the Student News and Protest Archive (SNAP) discuss the challenges and opportunities of archiving student-led struggles for liberation. Moderated by Éloïse Desjardins, archivist and Master’s student in Library Sciences at Université de Montréal with a research focus on activist community archives.
