Description:
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.

Expected Results:

In the long term, CARDI's objective is to increase access to the organization's archives and to raise awareness of them in the bilingual community.
