Drawing from oral history interviews this paper will tell the story of Palestinian visual archives, specifically the archives of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and their whereabouts in the post-Oslo period following the PLO’s departure from Tunisia in the 1990s. The paper also briefly narrates the story of the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) in the West Bank and Gaza and the challenges it encountered in preserving its visual archive. The paper argues that the displacement, loss, and seizure of Palestinian visual archives did not result from the perceived threat they posed to Zionism alone. Instead that the politics surrounding archives are imbricated in the broader social relations of settler colonialism, neoliberalism, and the neoliberal agendas that bourgeois national interests have produced in Palestine, as well as in the ideological differences between Palestinian political factions. The paper situates the neglect of the Palestinian liberation archives within the political economy of the post-Oslo period and shifting class formation, and the implication this have for preserving histories of the Palestinian revolution. The paper also discusses the Israeli settler states seizure, destruction, and/ or sequestration of Palestinian archival materials as part of its settler-colonial logic of eliminating Palestinian life, culture, history, and memory. Nevertheless, despite archival violence, individuals and civil society organizations are enacting a politics of reclamation to trace, preserve, claim, and repatriate Palestinian revolutionary archives (individual and collective), including visual archives, effectively practising a form of counter-archiving.
