This initiative provides funding of up to $100,000 per project to eligible Indigenous organizations to digitize existing culture and language recordings, and to help them build the skills, knowledge and resources they need to carry out this work in their communities.
LAC invites all eligible Indigenous organizations to submit their applications by noon on July 17, 2019 (Pacific Daylight Time).
Normand Charbonneau, Deputy Librarian and Archivist of Canada, will be coming here June 19 and tour Iqaluit and talk about the funding.
