By conducting oral history interviews with activist leaders from the 1970s to the 1990s, History of Disability Rights Newfoundland and Labrador Inc. will preserve stories about the highs and lows of a social movement that continues to seek equitable access to basic rights and services for persons with disabilities. The organization will digitize and post these interviews on social media, making them accessible to people across the country.

The Société d’histoire du Plateau-Mont-Royal plans to showcase two fonds that are important to the history of Mile End and the preservation of the Plateau Mont Royal’s heritage: the Kevin Cohalan fonds and the Société Mile-End pour l’histoire et la culture fonds. This project aims to digitize documents, create a virtual exhibition with an image bank, and hold a public event featuring a filmed testimonial by Kevin Cohalan, in addition to documenting the oral history of developments related to the project.

This project concerns fonds with a national scope that have never been processed or described to Rules for Archival Description standards despite their heavy use. A project archivist will be hired to appraise, process, arrange and describe the collections, before making their descriptions and finding aids available on the ArQuives website. This will allow Canadians to see the collections held by the ArQuives, including the collections available for research.

This project concerns fonds of individuals and organizations who helped to shape Canada’s LGBTQ2+ community and by extension had an impact on Canadian history.

The organization will digitize, preserve and provide access to Western Front’s collection of 1,353 Betamax, 3/4-inch U-matic, 1/2-inch open reel, VHS and Mini DV videotapes that document unique performance art and new music concerts presented at Western Front from 1973 to the 2000s.

The project commemorates Western Front’s 50th year and will increase awareness of its contribution to Canadian art history and the artist-run centre movement. Currently, the archive is largely inaccessible due to storage concerns and at-risk media formats. Western Front will make the digitized material accessible on its website, enabling increased discoverability of the collection by scholars, curators, artists, writers and the public.
