The project aims to develop an Internet platform for image research accessible to the general public. The images and data from 23 of the Historical Society's archival holdings will be transferred to new data management and image search software. The descriptions will then be checked, corrected and completed before the new platform is put online. From the 1890s to the 1980s, these images show the region's built heritage, families, personalities, associations, politics and municipal affairs, sport and education.

The primary objective of the project is to consolidate the archival database of the Société d'histoire du Lac-Saint-Jean by transcribing paper inventories and indexing missing archival holdings. All archival holdings will also be described in accordance with the Archival Description Rules (RAD). The second objective of the project is to make the archival database available online on the organization's web platform.

In this project, Them Days will conclude phase 2 of the Labrador Image Identification and Dissemination Initiative (popularly known as #IDThemDays), completing the photographic identification and database-building activities already underway. This includes archival research and meeting with community members to identify people, primarily Indigenous peoples of Labrador, in several thousand negatives, slides, and photographic prints. Once the organization has identified and catalogued the images appropriately, they will begin uploading them to their online portal at the end of the year.

The Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre (VHEC) will facilitate access to archival holdings related to a 35-year history of organizing public events and educational symposia related to its mandate and to Holocaust commemoration. The VHEC has a mandate to collect, preserve and make accessible documentary heritage that supports the organization in its efforts to promote social justice, human rights and genocide awareness. The VHEC will process records related to its annual educational symposium, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Yom HaShoah and Kristallnacht anniversary events, and the High Holidays cemetery service. These records include research and curatorial files, audio-video recordings, multi-media content, design files, plans, photographs, correspondence, and finance-related files. Specifically, the organization will arrange, describe and create a finding aid for event records, and then publish them online to make them accessible and searchable for educators, students, community members and researchers.

This project involves three fonds in the Winnipeg Architecture Foundation’s (WAF) collection: the Green Blankstein Russell (GBR) fonds; the Roy Sellors fonds; and the Dennis Carter fonds. The fonds contain materials related to several of Winnipeg's most significant buildings and their designers. The main objectives are to increase access to WAF’s collection; to preserve the original documents; and to inform WAF’s research program. Project activities include the creation of finding aids, digitization of 25 percent of the collection (the organization will prioritize materials related to buildings of architectural significance), and the creation of captions and metadata. A professional archivist will create the finding aids, train staff and volunteers, and be available for consultation throughout the project.

The project concerns audiovisual archives that include sound archives and moving images of the first actors and organizations that worked in the Magdalen Islands. By targeting the most fragile collections as a priority, the Centre d'archives régional des Îles will digitize and catalogue these archives in order to facilitate access while preserving their integrity. This project will be followed by an audiovisual commemorative event at the beginning of the second year of the project, marking the 165th anniversary of the post office in the Magdalen Islands and 110 years of the history of the ponchon.

This contribution will support a marketing strategy aimed at promoting the regions' assets to customers outside Quebec.
