The Coptic Canadian History Project (CCHP) is a non-profit community outreach organization that intends to bridge the gap between public archives, immigrant communities, and academic scholars. It aims to identify, archive, digitize, preserve, and provide free access to source materials that reflect the knowledge, collective memory, and experiences of Egypt’s Coptic population, Coptic immigrants in Canada, and their descendants. We hope to raise the profile of Coptic Canadians, highlight their diverse identities and experiences, and ensure that their legacy carries well into the future.
