Winnipeg Architecture Foundation

Published purpose

This project involves three fonds in the Winnipeg Architecture Foundation’s (WAF) collection: the Green Blankstein Russell (GBR) fonds; the Roy Sellors fonds; and the Dennis Carter fonds. The fonds contain materials related to several of Winnipeg's most significant buildings and their designers. The main objectives are to increase access to WAF’s collection; to preserve the original documents; and to inform WAF’s research program. Project activities include the creation of finding aids, digitization of 25 percent of the collection (the organization will prioritize materials related to buildings of architectural significance), and the creation of captions and metadata. A professional archivist will create the finding aids, train staff and volunteers, and be available for consultation throughout the project.
