Description
The project concerns audiovisual archives that include sound archives and moving images of the first actors and organizations that worked in the Magdalen Islands. By targeting the most fragile collections as a priority, the Centre d'archives régional des Îles will digitize and catalogue these archives in order to facilitate access while preserving their integrity.

Description (French)
Le projet porte sur des archives audiovisuelles qui incluent les archives sonores et les images en mouvement des premiers acteurs et organismes ayant œuvré aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine. En ciblant en priorité les fonds plus fragiles, le Centre d'archives régional des Îles procédera à la numérisation et au catalogage de ces archives afin d’en faciliter l’accès tout en préservant leur intégrité. Ce projet sera suivi d’un événement commémoratif audiovisuel qui se tiendra au début de la deuxième année du projet, soulignant du même coup les 165 ans de la poste aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine et les 110 ans de l’histoire du ponchon.
Expected Results
In the short term, this project aims to maintain the specialized jobs of the Centre d'archives régional des Îles (CARDI) locally and to improve its processing equipment, with a view to preserving its documentary heritage and making its archives more accessible to the public. In the long term, CARDI's objective is to increase access to the organization's archives and to raise awareness of them in the bilingual community.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, ce projet vise le maintien local des emplois spécialisés du Centre d’archives régional des Îles (CARDI) et l’amélioration de son matériel de traitement, dans l’optique de la préservation de son patrimoine documentaire et d’une meilleure accessibilité de ses archives au public. À long terme, l’objectif du CARDI est d’augmenter l’accessibilité aux archives de l’organisation et de sensibiliser la communauté bilingue à ceux-ci.
