Sharing Eeyou Istchee's Past

FY 2023-24 · 2023-07-01

Summary
The first part of this project is the digitization, housing, labeling, and cataloging of the 1,120cm, approx. 700 of slides from the ACCI’s archival collection, Harvey Feit. This collection of slides was gifted to Anthropologist Harvey Feit by Eva Ottereyes of the Cree First Nation of Waswanipi. The images display Cree life in the 1960s and early 70’s, showcasing family gathering, food preparation and hunting and trapping. The goal is to make this valuable collection of materials accessible to the Eeyouch, by making them available via ACCI online database. Our project will include housing and labeling the slides, as well as creating a complete catalogue description on the database for preservation and access to the images, providing digitization workshops and a social media campaign to promote digitizing services and promotion on the Cree community radio station.

Description (French)
La première partie de ce projet porte sur la numérisation, l’hébergement, l’étiquetage et le catalogage d’environ 700 diapositives de la collection d’archives de l’Institut culturel cri Aanischaaukamikw (ICCA), offertes à l’origine à l’anthropologue Harvey Feit par Eva Ottereyes de la Première Nation crie de Waswanipi. Les images illustrent la vie des Cris dans les années 1960 et au début des années 1970, et montrent des réunions de famille, la préparation de repas, la chasse et le piégeage. L’objectif est de rendre cette précieuse collection de documents accessible aux Eeyouch grâce à la base de données en ligne de l’ICCA. Notre projet comprendra l’hébergement et l’étiquetage des diapositives, la création de descriptions de catalogue complètes sur la base de données à des fins de préservation et d’accès aux images, l’organisation d’ateliers de numérisation et d’une campagne dans les médias sociaux pour promouvoir les services de numérisation, ainsi que la promotion sur la station de radio communautaire crie.
