Published purpose

The Federated Women's Institute of Ontario (FWIO) will preserve, digitize, and make accessible its Tweedsmuir Community History Collections (commonly called "Tweedsmuirs") and record books found across Ontario. Continuing from the first phase of this project, it will further digitize the remaining Tweedsmuir collections and records books across Ontario, which will be made available to the public. Moreover, FWIO will inspect and repair documents being digitized, link WI documents already available on other websites, and, to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the WI movement in 2017, create a virtual exhibit and library, which will document the many halls, community buildings, monuments, cairns, etc. created by WI members as part of community service.
