Frequently Asked Questions
In June 2024, Kenyans stood up against a corrupt, tyrannical, and wasteful government—one that blatantly disregarded the will of its people, murdered many and injured hundreds more. The purpose of The People’s Archive is to collect and preserve historical material for public access and research. The archive is open to all contributors who wish to share their items.
This is an initiative by a collective of Kenyan cultural practitioners, memory workers, historians and curators who recognize the need to preserve this moment in history. Currently it is hosted by African Digital Heritage Foundation who will convene a collective of other partners to steward and care for the material. Interested in partnering? Visit this page
