Description:
The collection of the Société historique du Saguenay includes the first documents collected by the organization, which date back to 1934. The series were processed differently in different periods, and they were inventoried in multiple formats (manuscripts, Kardex, etc.). Some documents are virtually inaccessible given their complicated retrieval process. The project involves facilitating access to the collection by standardizing its finding aids and making them more comprehensive and freely available through a single portal. The project will also increase the organization's capacity to sustainably conserve the collection’s archives and digital data.
