Grants and Contributions

The purpose of the project is to make an accurate inventory of the Inuit Art Collection following an evaluation of the state of the items selected and the location/community of origin, verify and correct metadata and information (standardized documentation of works), and develop a guide to standardize Inuit designations (towns, names, titles, etc.). The project's activities also include travel for research and interviews (filmed and made available to the public) with artists or members of the Nunavimmiut community, preparation of fact sheets and educational and thematic content, organization of exhibit rooms, and release of related rights and development of content on social networks, the Internet site and the mobile application.

This project will involve digitization and making searchable original newspapers from 1890 to 1973 in the collection of the Weston Historical Society (WHS). The digitized and searchable items will be loaded on to a website. Additionally, the WHS will digitize a microfilm role of Weston Council Minutes and baptism records from a now-defunct church.

ASTED will create a corpus of articles from "Documentation et bibliothèques" magazine, dating from the beginning of the publication in 1973 to 1988. This collection will be digitized and made accessible to as many people as possible on the Érudit platform.

Two significant fonds from the Canadian Centre for Architecture collection will be processed, including the verification of legacy inventories and descriptions, the creation of finding aids (which will be made available online), and the rehousing of materials.

The objective of this project is to preserve and catalogue the Geraldine and Douglas Moodie collection and to make it more widely known through the development of a traveling exhibition. Related work will include cleaning and conservation of original negatives, repairs to original prints, construction of storage containers, identification and description of unidentified images, as well as scanning of some materials for inclusion on the Glenbow website. In addition, the Inuit communities depicted in the images will be consulted, and their feedback on the photographs will be integrated into the Moodie fonds and into the related information made available to users.

This project will digitize and make available a strategic selection of documentary heritage, including material from Cree individuals and entities, community fieldwork projects, etc., that is held in the archives at Aanischaaukamikw Cree Cultural Institute. The content will be made available on digital platforms, including the organization's online collections database.

The McCord Stewart Museum will index and describe in greater detail a selection of 100 digitized datasets available online and expand their descriptions and indexing so that the multiple layers of information they contain is discoverable for researchers, and the archives become fully accessible to users. Some 200 important documents will be chosen from these datasets for individual descriptions. Approximately 48 works or extracts from relevant documents will be transcribed, including about 12 thematic articles, to present the textual archives collection of the McCord Stewart Museum.

The objective of this project is to digitize approximately 3,000 copy negatives of images from the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada's collection. Many of the originals are fragile and the digitization will thus help maintain and preserve the originals. The images will be hosted on the organization's website and online access to the digital images will be provided via the Manitoba Archival Information Network (MAIN). The related work will also involve correcting and improving the metadata associated with the images.

This project will consist of the sorting, arrangement, description, and rehousing for long-term preservation of the business archive and library from the Loomcrofters Hand Weaving Studio founded by Patricia Jenkins.

This project has three main objectives: (1) digitization of the collection of textual records, photographs, maps, scrapbooks, etc. pertaining to the local soldiers who fought in World War I; (2) preservation of these documents according to accepted Canadian standards; and (3) uploading of the PDF files of each textual record onto the Eastern Townships Archives Portal (ETAP) in order to make the collection accessible to a larger public.
