The ‘WIP’ Project (Women in Politics / Women in Parliament / Women in Parties / Women in Power)

The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) are meant to nurture the interest of the students and fully develop their potential for a research career in the natural sciences and engineering. They are also meant to encourage students to undertake graduate studies in these fields. Students who would like to gain research experience in an academic setting, these awards can provide financial support through the hosting university. NSERC encourages qualified Aboriginal students to apply to this program.

The goal of this project is to digitally preserve, and create a public access point for a collection of documents aggregated from historic figures in Ontario’s petroleum industry. Every eligible document will be imaged to create a digital archive. The digital collection will be presented online in a public and searchable index. In addition, any document with a spatial component will be geo-referenced in Geographic Information Systems and displayed on an online map available for browsing.

The project has two components. The first consists of a series of interviews of former miners in the region to collect their histories and stories about their work in the mines, labour relations, safety, the evolution of technology, etc. The second component will use these oral interviews and the archival documents and audio records in the museum's collections to develop a bilingual self-guided tour allowing visitors to the historical centre to take the tour on their own. The museum hopes to make its audio guide available to visitors for the 2019 summer season.

This project will focus on processing and providing collection-level access to approximately 20 archival collections from the Jewish Museum and Archives of British Columbia (JMABC). The related work will include appraisal, arrangement, description, and the creation of a finding aid, which will then be made available through the JMABC’s online database, AtoM (Access to Memory).

The Mugshot Mayhem project will establish the foundation for the digitization of 5 manuscripts that are in poor physical condition, need a comprehensive preservation plan, have recently come into public domain, and are the subject of frequent requests for access. This project will see the development of an archival digitization program at the Vancouver Police Museum and Archives and the first comprehensive conservation undertaking for the manuscript collection, setting the stage for continued best practices in both areas.

The purpose of this agreement is to create genomic tools for selection and breeding for resistance to the fungus causing western gall rust that can be used in tree improvement programmes in lodgepole and hybrid pine.

The purpose of this agreement is to conduct additional testing trials to determine the efficiency and economic viability of using natural air drying as a method to maintain optimum conditions of forestry residue by-products, such as bark, with or without supplemental heat.

The purpose of this agreement is to conduct geoscientific investigations to better understand the genesis of gold and base metal mineralization in the Baie Verte Peninsula of Newfoundland.
