Description:
The purpose of this project is to digitize high value, at risk documentary heritage and build capacity for archival digitization. The high-value, at-risk records include: (a) records contained on audio cassettes, VHS tapes and 3.5” floppy disks, which are classified at-risk due to the age of the technology and possibility of degradation and data loss; and (b) an assemblage of maps and diagrams that document that Nation’s relationship with its traditional territory and tell the story of its socioeconomic collapse and envisioned future as created by community Elders, leaders and members over 20 years ago. No copies exist of these documents exist and additionally, through this project, CLFN will develop a Digital Assets Policy and expand its capacity for archival digitization.
