Micmacs of Gesgapegiag

Published purpose

The project focuses on preservation and skill building at the Gesgapegiag Interpretation Centre. A small steering committee of four members will be established to guide the project, along with the involvement of eight Elders. Together, they will build a network of resources to support different aspects of the project. Mentors and technical experts will also participate to assist with skill building and training in widely used preservation methods, including media migration, proper storage and handling of materials, document and photograph classification, and the use of software to restore or repair images. The project will prioritize items at risk of being lost and systematically categorize the digital collection.
