BCMA Webinar: Witness, Memory, and Archives: Writing the Silence and Righting Community Histories
Thamilini Jothilingam and Alisa Sohi share about the South Asian Canadian Digital Archive (SACDA), a story of listening to the silence, writing the silence, and righting community histories. SACDA is an initiative of the South Asian Studies Institute at the University of the Fraser Valley that documents the history and heritage of the South Asian diaspora in Canada. The session will explore the ways in which SACDA uses digital archives as an open collaborative tool for documenting, preserving, and sharing knowledge resources and reclaiming South Asian Canadian community histories that are silenced, sidelined, and erased from the Canadian historical record.
