Although many Muslims have lived in St. John's for more than a generation they are consistently imagined as newcomers
Newfoundlanders and Labradorians have long woven their shared culture and aspirations by telling stories.
Partnering with the Muslim Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (MANAL), an all volunteer organization in the province’s only mosque, and Memorial University’s Archives and Special Collections, the “Muslim Narratives and Lives in Newfoundland and Labrador” (MNL in NL) Community Engagement Project will both locate and create archival materials to weave new narratives that better depict the religious and cultural diversity in Newfoundland and Labrador. The MNL in NL project is important for Muslim communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. We want to find and share stories that depict a different history. Archives are how histories are written!
