Project Profile:

Northside Hip Hop Archive

Website: https://www.nshharchive.ca/

Description: Northside Hip Hop Archive is a digital collection of Canadian hip-hop history and culture. This site is a living archive, which means we are always in the process of digitizing, cataloguing and engaging communities across the country. We envision ourselves as an archive and a counter archive: one that attempts to disrupt some of the traditional ways in which archiving has been imagined, to the benefit of Canadian culture and the global hip hop community.
