African Nova Scotian Archival Gathering
2026-05-07 10:00 - 15:30 (America/Halifax) | Schulich School of Law, 6061 University Avenue, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
The African Nova Scotian Archival Gathering, hosted by Dalhousie’s African Nova Scotian Strategy in partnership with Dalhousie Libraries, is focused on understanding and strengthening African Nova Scotian archives across the province.

We are bringing together community members with personal collections of family and cultural artifacts, such as pictures, conference materials, and church bulletins, alongside professionals working within institutional archives and cultural spaces that hold African Nova Scotian materials.

Together, we will share insights, hear from speakers, discuss the resources and services needed to better manage these special collections, and begin to envision what an African Nova Scotian Community Archive could look like.
