Halifax skateboarding has a 40+ year community history—and we’re working to preserve it.
The Halifax Skate Archives project is seeking contributions (2020 or older) from skaters and community members. We’re collecting photos, videos, zines, posters, magazines, skate art, and memorabilia that document the local scene.
Note: Physical artifacts (e.g., decks, clothing) cannot be accepted at this time.
Materials will be appraised, digitized, and archived with care. Selected digitized materials (unless otherwise specified by a donor) will be made accessible through the Halifax Municipal Archives website and featured in a final exhibition.
Funds are available to reimburse mailed donations.
To contribute or learn more: [email protected]
See the full call for more details.
Join the Halifax Skate Archives team to learn about the project and see if your donations are a fit. Bring your photos, video, zines, newspaper clippings, flyers and more! Diverse formats and mediums are welcome.

How it’s made in the Maritimes. A mini doc showcasing that since 1996, Homegrown Skateboards has been more than a skate brand 🛹 it became the heartbeat of a community still to the day!
What Jesse Watson built over the last three decades goes way deeper than boards and clothing. In LaHave Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 he created a home for generations of skaters across the East Coast of Canada. A place where kids found confidence, friendships, purpose, and culture.
A lot of people talk about supporting community, but Jesse actually lived it. He put people on, gave skaters opportunities, and helped keep the East Coast scene alive through every era since the 90’s
Respect to everyone who helped build this culture brick by brick. The East Coast skate scene wouldn’t be what it is today without Homegrown skateboards 🙌❤️ PJ
