The Christian Palestinian Archive (CPA) is a collection of scanned archival materials that document the lives of the Christian Palestinian community around the world and the story of their displacement. Dor founded the archive in 2006 with a collection of family photographs and documents, which he found in shoe boxes stored under his grandparents' bed. This work is a scan of Dor’s personal notebook, which contains information about the various images that are part of the CPA. The research and categorization work evident in this notebook reveals the participatory nature of the CPA, inviting a community to actively engage in the process of writing its own history.
