McLeod Lake Indian Band

Published purpose

The project will ensure that McLeod Lake Indian Band’s (MLIB) audio and visual archives are digitized for preservation and access purposes. The main objective is the digitization of 400 Califone cards, 40 audiocassettes, 15 CDs, 20 records, and 10 mini visual cassettes, which have been selected for their valuable content, preservation concerns, and their ability to provide evidence of Tse'Khene culture and language. The project also aims to provide communities with evidence to support the redevelopment of their traditional governance structures; facilitate the repatriation of physical recordings and digitized files back to origin as requested; and improve MLIB’s capacity to digitize materials and offer training in digitization.
