But when I read
the last words of Heba Abu Nada before she died,
I was moved to spread this news,
before her banner could be censored
by those who defend selective liberty:
“If we die, know that we are content and steadfast,
and convey on our behalf that we are people of truth!”
- excerpt from, Urgent: News of the Death of Hiba Abu Nada, by João Melo
(trans. from the Portuguese by G. Holleran)
We are witnessing daily a genocide across Gaza live streamed to our screens now for over 200 days.
We are witnessing the mass starvation and displacement of an entire population within a besieged territory, the vast majority of whom are refugees from elsewhere in Palestine after a century of colonisation and ethnic cleansing.
We are witnessing the systematic destruction of schools, universities, hospitals, churches, mosques, homes, and civilian infrastructure.
We are witnessing the cultural and information dimensions of this horror –– the wholesale looting, burning, bombing, and destruction of archives, libraries, museums, archaeological sites, records, historical documents, manuscripts, lived environments, and other material and immaterial traces of Palestinian culture and history on the land. This archival erasure is not an exceptional moment in Palestinian history. The recent bombings of the Central Archives of Gaza City, the Rafah Museum, the Omari Mosque and Library, the Edward Said Library, the Al-Aqsa University Library, the Islamic University of Gaza Library, and countless other memory institutions in Gaza take their place in history alongside the Khalil al-Sakakini Collection that was looted in 1948 for the Hebrew University; the American Colony studio archive in Jerusalem that was looted in 1949; the Palestinian Archaeological Museum that Israel appropriated and renamed in 1967; the Palestinian Research Centre in Beirut which Israel looted and destroyed in 1982; the Arab Studies Society Archive which the Israeli government confiscated in 2001; and the Khalil al-Sakakini Cultural Centre that was vandalised in 2002.
Archival erasure and epistemic violence are a colonial tool to reinforce a false perception of Israeli historical legitimacy. The destruction and looting of archives and records repositories, alongside information censorship, historical misrepresentation, and heritage destruction, aim to erase the Palestinian people both figuratively and literally from their ancestral and unceded land so it can be claimed by settlers. Alongside the crimes commissioned by the Israeli state and its allies, supported by white nationalist and settler colonial states and institutions like Canada, Australia and the United States, we are witnessing the crimes of omission –– the silence of the majority of archival and records associations, scholars, departments, and institutions across the Global North, a term used here to refer to states, elites, corporations, and other powerful actors anywhere in the world characterised by or benefiting from exploitation, oppression, and (neo)colonial relations.
As professionals, scholars, and students of archival studies, as well as aligned memory and information professions and disciplines, we issue this letter first and foremost to express our solidarity and support for our colleagues in Gaza and across Palestine and the Shatat (Diaspora/Exile); and for their families, friends, and communities, whose suffering, courage, resilience, and commitment has astonished and galvanised the world. Palestinian colleagues we have lost to Israeli violence include Abdul Karim Hashah; Bilal Jadallah; Doaa Al-Masri; Dr. Jihad Suleiman Al-Masri; Iman Abu Saeed; and Marwan Tarazi. In recounting their names, we commit to remembering them, sharing their stories, and continuing their work to preserve Palestinian archival memory, knowledge, history, and culture. We issue this letter to call out the silent complicity of archival professional and academic institutions and spaces, and the hypocrisy and racism that underpin this silence. We call on educators, researchers, scholars, institutions, and power brokers in the archival and aligned memory and information fields to end the prevalent disregard and erasure of Palestine and Palestinians in our spaces. For too long, the archival, information, and memory fields have institutionalised and normalised a tacit policy of ignoring and enabling Israelit colonisation, land theft, ethnic cleansing, and displacement. We reject with sadness and anger the hypocrisy of those academic, professional and governmental institutions and personalities who claim to be working for equity, inclusion, decolonization, antiracism, and social justice while remaining silent or enabling the Gaza genocide and the colonization of Palestinian history, culture, knowledge, and land.
As such, we call on our professional and academic archival, information and memory work colleagues, departments, institutions, and associations to join the global movement for an immediate ceasefire, an end to the genocide on Gaza, and the liberation of Palestinian people everywhere. We insist that we must teach and learn about Palestine in our professional and academic training programs, educational institutions, curricula, and courses. We recognize the urgent need for research and publications in our fields that centre Palestinian experiences, perspectives, and voices.
There is also an urgent need to correct our predominantly reductive and racist cataloguing, archiving, and metadata standards, frameworks, and tools pertaining to Palestinian geographies, people, communities, culture, history and materials. We must articulate new approaches that are informed by the work of Palestinian memory workers over the last century and beyond in key archival functions from acquisition and access to archival arrangement and description. We must make a concerted effort to gather and platform materials from Palestinian people, organisations, and communities in Palestine and the Shatat (Diaspora/Exile). And finally, our calls for increased access fall short if we are not also supporting the return of stolen and displaced archives and records to Palestinian memory workers, institutions, and communities so that the Palestinian people can exercise self-determination over their own material worlds and story.
It is our responsibility to boycott and divest from all academic, cultural and other Israeli institutions and organisations complicit through acts of commission or omission in the genocide, including those who refuse to speak out against Israeli war crimes and apartheid, those that receive funding from or collaborate with the Israeli state, and those who work with or have relationships with the Israeli military. Everyone must conduct a comprehensive audit in their institutions that discloses prominent vendors and assets from anywhere in the world, which financially benefit from or contribute to weapons manufacturing, intelligence collection, surveillance, illegal Israeli settlements, and Israeli human rights violations. Make a commitment to divestment! End your complicity in Israeli genocide, war crimes, and other grave violations of human rights and international law by boycotting and divesting from all those enabling and profiting from these crimes and violations!
It is our responsibility to support colleagues facing censure and institutional discipline for speaking up for Palestinian rights and against Israeli settler colonialism, apartheid, and occupation. We must defend the right of everyone around the world to academic freedom, freedom of speech, and the right to assemble and organise against genocide, colonialism and apartheid in Palestine and beyond.
In this urgent moment, this is a call to all of our colleagues around the world, and all those who oppose colonialism and racism, to mobilize all our knowledge, expertise, skills, resources, and privilege to counter the cultural dimensions of the Gaza genocide with the goal of preserving Palestinian history and memory and, most importantly, of stopping the genocide and settler colonialism perpetuated on the Palestinian people.
At its core, this statement is a call for all of us to practise our profession ethically and archive against genocide.
