Description:
The purpose of the project is to make crowdsourcing—that is, seeking the public’s assistance to increase awareness of the archives—available to the community of Francophone archivists, both inside and outside Quebec. The project consists in developing online training (short videos, theoretical content, educational activities, collaboration spaces) for a wide variety of archive services, particularly services for the French-speaking and Indigenous minority populations, and making this training available at no charge. The goal of this online training, which is intended to be self-supporting, is to build knowledge through sharing experiences and holding activities within a community.
Organization:
Library and Archives Canada
Expected Results:
The expected results of the project phase where the digital training tools are created are the following: a draft online training program and a “content providers” interface in Chronoscope that meet archivists’ needs. The purpose of the testing phase is to validate this interface and the online training platform to which educational resources for up to six courses will be uploaded. The expectations for the training rollout phase are to recruit an initial cohort of 25 participants for the launch of the online training, and to motivate a community so that the online training then becomes self-supporting.
