The People’s Archive of Belize is a movement to build the first-ever, people-driven digital archive of Belize. This project invites the participation of every Belizean to contribute their historic photos, with the goal of constructing a visual history of Belize—told through the perspectives of as many individuals as possible.

This is a first of its kind opportunity for people from different communities to gain access and consent to recording, and documenting their stories for research, curation and digitization. In this process the clear outcome is for the availability of a deeper, more transparent telling of the peoples’ journey in contemporary Belize and unlock the many ignored, forgotten and erased stories from our history.

This project will only fail if we fail to act.
