The ”<strong>Oslo</strong> Multicultural Archives Project”<br />
- motto: Everyone has the right to a past!<br />
(Edvard Bull, Norwegian historian)<br />
• The “<strong>Oslo</strong> Multicultural Archives Project” was an<br />
attempt to obtain a more representative societal<br />
memory.<br />
• The purpose of the project was to collect, preserve and make<br />
available a number of key archives from new minorities in <strong>Oslo</strong>.<br />
• The aim was that <strong>Oslo</strong> City's cultural diversity<br />
should thus become part of the city's memory<br />
and could be used in our outreach work.<br />
– The project period March 2004 – 2007.<br />
– Funding by The Norwegian Archive, Library and<br />
<strong>Museum</strong> Authority, Arts Council Norway and<br />
The Fritt Ord Foundation<br />

Follow-up: Multiple voices – minority women in<br />
organizational life<br />
• Women’s organizations often<br />
have a shorter history.<br />
• Documentation is found on the<br />
Internet and in social media<br />
• Their activities are often<br />
primarily networking & social<br />
activities.<br />
• It is therefore important to<br />
interview some of these<br />
women.<br />
• Together with The MiRA<br />
Centre, <strong>Oslo</strong> City Archives<br />
established a project where we<br />
interviewed leading women in<br />
immigrant communities (8<br />
edited in a book)<br />
• Funding: Arts Council Norway<br />
and The Fritt Ord Foundation<br />
