Description:
Makivik Corporation holds a large number of analog and digital recordings on obsolete video and audio formats. They are of high value to both Makivik Corporation and Inuit culture and are comprised of radio and television interviews; press conferences; board meetings of Makivik Corporation or other Makivvik-affiliated organizations; meetings with Nunavik community members, federal and provincial politicians, business leaders, and members of the scientific community; oral history interviews with Nunavik Inuit elders; and several other crucial pieces of documentation representing the history of Makivik Corporation, Nunavik Inuit, and the James Bay Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA). These materials are a high preservation priority because they are actively degrading due to age, physical condition, technological obsolescence and the availability of required playback equipment.
