Archives and museums have been complicit in supporting established Canadian colonial historical narratives through the documentary neglect of records and objects pertaining to racialized, Indigenous, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.  Recently, many archivists and curators are working as allies with marginalized communities to overcome documentary heritage silences and support more inclusive and diverse historical narratives.  However, the dearth of material documenting Two-Spirit people has contributed to their exclusion from these efforts, which is reflective of their continued marginalization within broader Indigenous and LGBTQIA+ human rights movements.
The University of Winnipeg Archives and the Canadian Museum of Human Rights have recently shifted their institutional priorities to try to combat the erasure of Two-Spirit communities in Canada’s documentary heritage.  By collaborating with Two-Spirit Elders, Knowledge-Keepers, and activists in the formation of advisory councils, these institutions are working to highlight Two-Spirit histories, experiences, successes, and struggles in their collections in order to reflect the diversity of Canadian stories and experiences and disrupt the colonial historical narrative reinforced in heritage institutions.

Les archives et les musées ont été complices en faisant la promotion des narratifs coloniaux canadiens et en négligeant les documents et les objets relatifs aux communautés racialisées, autochtones et LGBTQI2SA. Récemment, de nombreux archivistes et conservateurs ont entrepris une collaboration dans leur rôle d'alliés des communautés marginalisées afin de contrer le silence des documentaires du patrimoine et pour faire la promotion de récits historiques plus inclusifs et diversifiés.  Cependant, le manque de matériel documentant les personnes Two-Spirits ont contrecarré leurs efforts. Ce qui en dit long sur la marginalisation qui persiste au sein des mouvements des droits de l'homme autochtones et LGBTQIA+.
Les Archives de l'Université de Winnipeg et le Musée canadien des droits de la personne ont récemment ajusté leurs priorités institutionnelles pour tenter de combattre l'effacement des communautés Two-Spirits dans les documentaires historiques du Canada.  En collaborant avec des aînés, des gardiens du savoir et des activistes Two-Spirits lors de la formation de conseils consultatifs, ces institutions s’efforcent de mettre en valeur les histoires, les expériences, les succès et les luttes des Two-Spirits dans leurs collections afin de refléter la diversité des histoires et des expériences canadiennes et de remettre en question les récits historiques coloniaux qui ont cours dans les institutions patrimoniales.
