The Two-Spirit Archives at the University of Winnipeg is a dedicated and growing research centre committed to preserving and celebrating Two-Spirit history, culture, and activism. Guided by the Two-Spirit Archives Advisory Council, the collection ensures that Two-Spirit voices remain central in documenting their own stories and contributions.
Founded from materials collected and donated by Two-Spirit activist Albert McLeod, the archives feature one of Canada’s most comprehensive holdings on the Indigenous Two-Spirit movement, including newsletters, photographs, art, textiles, media, and organizational records from Manitoba and across North America.
By stewarding this history, the University of Winnipeg works in partnership with the community to support teaching, learning, and research while contributing to ongoing processes of decolonization and cultural reclamation. The Archives welcomes donations that help expand and strengthen this vital resource.
