The Making of an Archive (2014–ongoing) is a project initiated by Canadian artist Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyễn. It consists of digitizing workshops, community outreach, digital recordings and interviews. We collect photos by digitizing 35mm, 120mm films, slides or Polaroids of everyday life by immigrants and their families who identify as POC (People of Colour).
