A collection of digitized photographs, print materials, and ephemera that document the activities of the Indigenous Media Arts Group, or IMAG. IMAG was an Indigenous and community organization founded in early 1998. Its mandate was to facilitate the promotion, development, and dissemination of Indigenous media, arts, and culture.

This digitized collection reflects the group's activities, including organizing the IMAGeNation Aboriginal Film and Video Festival, a festival that was held annually from 1998 to 2006. IMAGeNation also coordinated a traveling film festival held throughout British Columbia (Prince Rupert, Duncan and Enderby) in 1999 and 2005. The group facilitated workshops and training programs in media and arts administration. In addition, they operated a resource centre for Indigenous people to access information regarding film and video making, media arts, cultural theory and media literacy.

SFU Special Collections and Rare Books is grateful to two of the founding members, Dana Claxton and Cleo Reece, for entrusting the archive to us.
