The proposed project will publish 1300 image and document records with accessibility assets to grunt gallery’s online archive. Specifically, this will entail the creation and metadata population of records in grunt's archival database, the upload of existing digitized objects to those records, and the creation of two types of accessibility assets: visual descriptions for images and transcripts for documents.

St. Paul’s Anglican Church (Lindsay) Archives Description and Access Project strives to gain control over the church's vast collection of archival holdings, dating back almost 200 years, in the interests of preserving them and making them accessible to parishioners and researchers.

This project aims to digitize, rehouse, and add items to the organization’s online database.

This project will ensure the preservation and accessibility of records added to the Stó:lo Library and Archives - thereby increasing access to, and awareness of, the history of the Stó:lo Nation, an organization of Stó:lo communities which has its roots in several forerunner organizations focused on Stó:lo governance and rights and title, including participation in the modern treaty process, dating back to the 1970s.

The key activities are transcribing the recordings and working with fluent hul'q'umi'num' speaking Elders to translate and verify accuracy. There are 830 recordings created by a respected SFN Elder during her decades teaching hul'q'umi'num' to community members. The collection was donated in 2020. Many of these lessons included teachings from other community Elders - most of which have now passed.
