Description:
The objective of this project is to increase the accessibility of documentary aspects of the archaeological record related to projects carried out by the Museum of Ontario Archaeology between 1979 and 2010, specifically archaeological site reports and maps. There are 674 existing digitized files to process, and 236 maps to review which may be eligible for scanning.
Organization:
Library and Archives Canada
Expected Results:
The expected results of the project are for there to be an overall increase in public awareness of and access to information about archaeological sites and projects conducted by the Museum of Ontario Archaeology between 1979 and 2010. Those who access the reports will have some context on how to frame the documents, and be aware when information in the online reports has been edited and why. Providing access to these files will increase use of both documentary and artifact collections that make up the archaeological record, as the increase in access will make it easier for stakeholder groups to locate collections of interest.
