Egypt Migrations

egypt migrations is a federally incorporated not-for-profit public humanities and community outreach organization. our organization was founded with the goal of identifying, archiving, digitizing, preserving, and providing free access to source materials that reflect the knowledge, collective memory, and experiences of egypt’s migrants. the benefits of egypt migrations are many. this is the first such initiative in canada and the first ever repository to prioritize the history and memory of egypt’s migrant populations. by centering diverse experiences, we seek to move beyond constructions of a single group narrative and instead support a variety of perspectives. in this way, the often-marginalized stories of individuals that do not conform to the dominant narrative are able to flourish. with our online globalized presence, egypt migrations gets to work with established archives to create more representative holdings and to push the country’s archival collections to be more progressive
