Title:
The ArQuives Processing Project pt. 5
Agreement Number:
2223-0115
Agreement Value:
$48,089.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2022 - Mar 31, 2023
Description:
The project focuses on fonds with a national scope that have never been processed or described to Rules for Archival Description (RAD) standards, despite their heavy use. A project archivist will be hired to appraise, process, arrange, and describe these collections. Descriptions and finding aids will be available through an online database. This will ensure effective knowledge mobilization, allowing Canadian and international researchers and the public to know what collections are held and are available for study.
Organization:
Library and Archives Canada
Expected Results:
The project will increase the accessibility and visibility of the organization’s holdings. Collections will be professionally accessioned, documented and rehoused. Records will be added to the database and shared online. Effective collections management will ensure that these records are preserved for future generations. Social media posts and records digitized for online use expand The ArQuives' capacity for knowledge mobilization.
