$26,073.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2025 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
In this project, the Charlotte County Archives will describe, digitize, share, and enhance preservation for dozens of scrapbooks in its collection. These scrapbooks, dating from the 1870s to 1990s and mostly created by women, offer unique individual perspectives on everyday life, events, and experiences from the vantage point of rural and small town residents of southwestern New Brunswick.
Organization:
Library and Archives Canada
Expected Results:
The project would bolster the value of scrapbooks held by the Charlotte County Archives, enabling wider access to their contents via digitization and online access while safeguarding their contents through the subsequent reduction of handling and implementation of key preservation measures. Approximately fifty scrapbooks of high intrinsic and informational value would be digitized to preservation standards, including multiple views where needed to capture all aspects of the original material.
