The Société d’histoire du Lac-Saint-Jean is seeking to digitize and publish approximately 22,000 photos from the Jean le Photographe fonds, in order to preserve these visual archives, which bear witness to sixty years of regional history, and make them accessible to the public.
The images will be filed in the photo module of the Société d’histoire du Lac-Saint-Jean’s database, on the organization’s website. This will give researchers access to the photo bank online.

This project will ensure the preservation and accessibility of records recently added to the Stó:lo Library and Archives, for the purpose of increasing access to, and awareness of, the history of the Stó:lo Nation.

Through this project, Grand Council Treaty #3 aims to document the history and stories of Manito Aki Inakonigaawin (MAI), the Great Earth Law of the Anishinaabe, in Treaty #3. The project will involve interviewing Elders and knowledge keepers on this sacred law and translating the recordings from Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) into English. This project is being developed in partnership with the Niiwin Wendaanimok Partnership.

The objective of the project is to preserve the major collections of photo images held by the Annapolis Heritage Society (AHS) and render them accessible to the public. Deliverables of the project are the development of a group of skilled volunteers, the digitization of the major photo collections, and wide public access to the images.

The purpose of the project is to make crowdsourcing—that is, seeking the public’s assistance to increase awareness of the archives—available to the community of Francophone archivists, both inside and outside Quebec. The project consists in developing online training (short videos, theoretical content, educational activities, collaboration spaces) for a wide variety of archive services, particularly services for the French-speaking and Indigenous minority populations, and making this training available at no charge.

CHPF has successfully digitized more than 12,000 images through three consecutive projects funded by the Documentary Heritage Communities Program (DHCP).

The Archives of the Anglican Diocese of Toronto will work with a conservator specializing in paper conservation to improve the condition of twenty-five parish registers, which currently cannot be safely consulted, and ensure their long-term preservation, with the aim of continued access and future digitization.

The Council of Yukon First Nations (CYFN) Archives Access Project application for the 2022-23 DHCP focuses on the completion of finding aids for records created by the CYFN predecessor organizations that founded and led the Yukon First Nations land claims movement from circa 1968 to circa 1983: YNB – Yukon Native Brotherhood (184+ boxes) and YANSI – Yukon Association of Non-Status Indians (61+ boxes). The 2022-23 project will also include records from the predecessor land claims negotiation organization CYI – Council for Yukon Indians (65+ boxes related to the Leadership and Implementation Planning series), and the CYFN – Yukon Native Language Centre Indigenous Language Preservation series (50+ boxes).

Historically, the Society of Friends (Quakers) has been instrumental in advancing business and industry in Coldstream, Ontario. The scope of this project is the digitization of early records and photographs from businesses and industries, personal records, and publications from the area Quakers.
The key activities for the project are the digitization of approximately 3 metres of records, which include 250 photographs.
