Description:
This project will implement Phase 2 of the Gananoque Archive Collections Project. Phase 1 was initiated in 2021 with the support of LAC. It focused on making a minimum of 50% of the Town of Gananoque’s archival collection accessible and improving the preservation standards for the collection. Following the successful implementation of Phase 1, Phase 2 will continue the process of opening up the community’s extensive documentary heritage for research, exhibitions, programming, and online opportunities. Phase 2 will concentrate on parts of the collection that are not digitized and require preventative conservation actions to meet professional archival standards. These parts of the collection are still largely inaccessible to the public as a result of outdated and incomplete documentation and lack of digitization. They are at risk of further degradation and potential loss. This project will digitize, preserve and document the remaining two-dimensional (2-D) items, multi-page documents, and the oversized record book collection.
Organization:

Outcome 1 is efficient and increased access to documentation for remaining 2-D archival items, multi-page documents, and oversize record books. Outcome 2 is efficient and increased access to remaining 2-D archival items, multi-page documents, and oversize record books outside of storage in digital form. Outcome 3 is efficient and increased access to remaining 2-D archival items, multi-page documents and oversize record books in storage. Outcome 4 is improved preservation for remaining 2-D archival items, multi-page documents and oversized record books. Outcome 5 is increased engagement with the archival collection and an enhanced sense of ownership among the community. Outcome 6 is the community can experience more of the Gananoque story represented by its documentary heritage.
