Sharjah Archives concludes 'A History Retold' initiative

Cultural storytelling

The effort reflected the institution's vision of redefining documentation from a routine administrative task to a dynamic cultural experience. Visitors of all ages were led on an interactive journey from the past to the present, with rare images, official documents, and personal items that jointly tell the human and historical tale of Sharjah over the years.

Public interaction

The idea sparked widespread attention among the public, who saw the platform as an inspirational environment for exploration and involvement. From visual storytelling to interactive displays and open debates, the event rekindled the nation's memory in a contemporary environment that celebrates the past while also investing in its documentation for future generations.

In a concluding statement, Sharjah Archives underlined that "A History Retold" is a continuous cultural and national effort. The programme is part of a larger aim to broaden the scope of documentation to cover all aspects of life in the Emirate of Sharjah, with the notion that once recorded, history is remembered and brought to life again.
