Archives Association of British Columbia

Published purpose

The Education and Advisory Service Coordinator of the Archives Association of British Columbia will plan and deliver two customized workshops, one to take place in Haida Gwaii and the other in Fort St. John, to support Treaty 8 Tribal Association communities. They will build on a past DHCP project called Indigenous and Community Capacity Building: Archives Regional Training and Development Clinics, and respond to feedback that travel prevents many interested parties from participating. The clinics will offer training and in-person archival expertise to Indigenous knowledge keepers and First Nations community members, and archival staff of community memory institutions. The scope, topics and focus will be determined in consultation with each community and will incorporate lessons learned from past workshops.
