Agreement Value:
$43,023.00
Agreement Date:
May 26, 2021 - Mar 31, 2022
Description:
The organization aims to preserve, increase access to, and increase awareness of the Gananoque Civic Collection’s large archival collection (encompassing nearly 10 000 items). One major goal is to preserve 50% of Gananoque’s documentary heritage (in 2021- phase one) through preventative conservation strategies, and digitization of analogue archival objects. The other major goal is to create a distinct Archival catalogue record within the museum’s collections management database using Rules for Archival Description conventions, for all archival objects within the collection, to make this information accessible to staff, and to the public on-site and online.
Organization:
Library and Archives Canada
Expected Results:
Effective preservation and digitization of 50% of the archival items in the Gananoque Civic Collection will help ensure the documentary history of Gananoque and the 1000 Islands region is safeguarded for future engagement and enjoyment by the local community. Creating an accurate Archival catalogue record according to established RAD standards, complete with digital copies of all archival objects, will make the documentary history of Gananoque more accessible for use on site and in online public outreach activities. This will increase awareness and the sense of ownership of the documentary collection among the community.
