Across Archives is a storytelling space created by The Refugee Archive. Our mission is to highlight the voices, memories, and lived experiences of migrants, immigrants, refugees, and internally displaced people (IDPs) from around the world. Through conversations with archivists, scholars, advocates, and community storytellers, we explore how displacement is recorded, remembered, and reshaped.
Each episode dives into the archivists behind oral history projects, archival collections, and community-driven initiatives that safeguard the stories of people on the move. The voices, artifacts, memories, and lived experiences that connect generations and build solidarity.
We believe that through this project, we can identify underrepresented perspectives, including the experiences of female-headed households and single mothers in displacement. By amplifying these stories, Across Archives seeks to bridge divides, challenge dominant narratives, and create a richer record of migration and resilience.
Join us as we uncover how archives can preserve human rights, inspire collective memory, and reshape the history of displacement for the future.
