The W.R.E.N.C.H. Winnipeg Cycling Archive collection

  • c00020
  • Collection
  • 1937, 1971-2022 (majority 2006-2022)

Consists of digital and analogue records donated to the W.R.E.N.C.H. (Winnipeg Repair Education and Cycling Hub) in 2022 as part of a call to the community to create an archive of Winnipeg cycling and community organizing. Donors provided records to the W.R.E.N.C.H. with the understanding that they would be transferred to the City of Winnipeg Archives when the project was completed. The majority of donated records are digital, both born-digital and scans of analogue records, but analogue records were also included. The records include posters, pamphlets, minutes, and other documents created by Winnipeg cycling organizations, photographs and videos of cycling events and bike education, and content related to the interaction between community organizers and the police. Organizations represented within the records include Bike Winnipeg and Bike to the Future, Bike Week, and Critical Mass. The project was supported by the Winnipeg Foundation.
