A discourse is an archive that genealogy must excavate.

Evidence

According to Foucault, discourse is composed of a series of statements and events that create an archive, and it is the job of the genealogist to uncover these archives and bring them into the light. One way to think of this book is as an archive of Muslim monsters. — Sophia Rose Arjana, Muslims in the Western Imagination, 65
