As we're in a bit of a lull right now (and that is decidedly a very good thing) we thought we would start some work on a project that we had considered long ago but had put on the back burner. However we will need the help of our readers.
In 1989, perhaps the most "successful" hate group in Canadian history, the Heritage Front, was formed. It's heyday was between 1989 and early 1994, though it did continue in a much weakened state until 2005 when it finally ceased to exist.
We would like to document, as much as we can, the history of this group.
We are looking for examples of Heritage Front propaganda, newspaper clippings, and photos of the group (individual members, meetings/rallies held, encounters with antifa, informal gatherings, etc) between 1989 and 2005, with a special focus on the years between 1989 and 1999 (though the period between 2001 and 2005 is also of particular interest).
If you have any items that could be scanned and emailed to us, our address is as follows:
arc.collective200 (at) gmail.com
Since the Heritage Front was founded almost a generation ago now, we'd sort of like to collect this information before much more of it is lost to time.We know that there are antifa and former HF members (who have rejected racism since they left the hate group) who have items that have not yet found their way into the public realm as yet and, from an historical point of view, these items would be of great interest to not only ourselves, but academia.
To those who are willing to help us out, we thank you.

The Edmonton hate crimes unit really rustled our jimmies! It's like after everyone got arrested our chapter died!
ReplyDeleteI have some original letters I'd like to send you, sorry I forgot to scan them earlier. I rediscovered them among a box of stuff I thought had been lost, and really had to fight the impulse not to trash them immediately. You'll get a kick out of them for sure :D
