Agreement Value:

$24,896.26

Agreement Date:

Jul 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (IRC) RC had its deposited holdings returned from the Northwest Territories Archives. This material is on mediums such as cassette tapes, VHS, reel to reel and DAT tapes with no digital longer-lasting format available. The older mediums will be digitized and added to our database and accessioned into our physical collection. Given the date range of the material (1963 to 1979) and difficulty sharing the content including stories and conversations by those who are now elders and/deceased Inuvialuit beneficiaries, it is in our interest to preserve the content through digitization and training to make the material available to our beneficiaries and communities for learning purposes.
