Projects

The ArQuives is very happy to continue partnering with A/CA to digitize some of our older holdings with the Cinemobilia team! The archivists at The ArQuives have been making selections of A/V that are higher priority for digitization based on user requests, creator, format, and age. We are so happy to be able to preserve more of our A/V and make it digitally accessible. Some of the digitised content not found below includes:  

• A.I.D.S. After the Fear
• Arquives super8 film (WIP)
• Shadow Catcher Prod AIDS Action R1-2

CineMobilia digitized several of the filmmaker interviews carried out by researchers from the CINEMAexpo67 group.  Working in partnerships as scholars, archivists, filmmakers and institutions, CINEMAexpo67 seeks to locate, restore and re-exhibit Expo 67 films in new forms to wide audiences and capture the complexity and imaginative fervour of Expo 67’s exciting period in film history.

The digitization of the VHS tapes from the Heritage Singers' collection is part of Debbie's research-creation project to locate and understand the archives -the collections and spaces - of Jamaican Diasporic history in Canada. The project focuses on the embodied archive of this community for which audiovisual and photographic records are key to preserving much of the richness of this corporeal, affective archive.
