Subject: [TURC] Rise UP! A Digital Feminist Archive of the Canadian women's
movement-launch
Rise UP! A Digital Feminist Archive of the Canadian women's movement has
launched - just in time to mark Women's History Month!
For an overview of Rise UP! Go to
http://us14.campaign-archive2.com/?u=a94620fa68b2e84653dd6e2f3&id=84d1a7359e&e=bcb9823528
Rise UP! aims to capture the diversity, vibrancy, and radical legacy of
feminist activism in Canada and Québec from the 1970s to the 1990s and make
it
widely available to activists, students and researchers. Please visit
<http://riseupfeministarchive.ca>.
The archive celebrates, documents and recuperates the achievements,
initiatives
and struggles of the Canadian women's movement. It aims to foster research,
promote inter-generational conversations, and inspire radical activism. The
publications link includes searchable copies of almost fifty publications,
many
of which are introduced by the original editors. Timeline highlights
significant moments, contributions, and turning points of this era. Activism
features key issues and organizations. Click on culture to find music, films,
buttons and posters. Teaching resources offers support for using the archive
in
classrooms.
There is still much to do and many voices missing or incomplete. We will keep
adding content to the site, but to continue this work, we need your help!
