Description:
The project seeks to procure funding to continue running the AABC's successful and well attended workshop: Archives 101: Archival Practice for Indigenous Organizations. The project will involve two online offerings of Archives 101 at a low registration fee which gives attendees an overview of creating and managing successful archival programs in their communities or organizations. Paired with these two workshops will be eight no-cost and in-person site visits to Indigenous communities in the Lower Mainland by the AABC's Education and Advisory Services Coordinator.
Organization:
Library and Archives Canada
Expected Results:
Short-term results include relationship-building between participants and the EAS Coordinator, leading to a greater take-up of services offered by the AABC. Long-term results include increased capacity in Indigenous communities and organizations for making documentary heritage accessible physically and digitally as culturally appropriate. A potentially greater number of descriptions uploaded to MemoryBC or in a Nation controlled collection management system, therefore making documentary heritage in Canada more visible.
