All About Archives

Written By One Great History .
 

What even is an archive? Do we even really need them? Sabrina and Alex tackle these questions and talk to archivist Tom Nesmith and filmmakers Jesse Green and Vanda Fleury-Green about the importance of the City of Winnipeg archives and the less-than-ideal situation they’re in.

A huge thank you to Tom Nesmith, Jesse Green, and Vanda Fleury-Green!
