$20,638.00

Agreement Date:

Description:

St. Paul’s Anglican Church (Lindsay) Archives Description and Access Project strives to gain control over the church's vast collection of archival holdings, dating back almost 200 years, in the interests of preserving them and making them accessible to parishioners and researchers. This undertaking will involve rehousing the records in accordance with best practices; adding archival descriptions to records; digitizing/scanning photographs, and increasing access via provincial, national, and international database portals.

Organization:

Library and Archives Canada

Expected Results:

The short-term goals of this project are to obtain an understanding of what records are currently housed with the St. Paul’s Anglican Church archives and to digitize a large portion of the photo collection to build our resources for the parishioners and public alike. The first long-term goal coming out of this project is to have the foundation that the archives can continue to grow and be of service to researchers. A second long-term goal is renewed public and parish-wide interest in the collection.
