Description (French)
Le Nikkei National Museum (NNM) et le Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) travaillent sur un nouveau projet conjoint pour la préservation et l’accessibilité des documents qui soulignent les activités et les réussites des Canadiennes d’origine japonaise. Femmes de changement : Célébrer les dirigeantes canadiennes d’origine japonaise tient à souligner la force, la résilience et les contributions des femmes d’affaires, des auteures, des photographes, des associations de femmes, des chercheuses et des activistes, entre autres, y compris la première juge canadienne d’origine asiatique du Canada, la Dre Maryka Omatsu. Le NNM et le JCCC partagent un seul et même mandat, celui d’honorer, de préserver et de partager l’histoire des Canadiens d’origine japonaise pour un meilleur Canada. Pour ce faire, ils visent à préserver 2 184 photos, 411 cm de documents textuels et 60 heures d’images en mouvement par la numérisation, la description et la préservation à long terme, ainsi qu’en rendant ces documents accessibles en ligne, en salle de classe et en exposition.
Expected Results
Completion of the management and improved accessibility of 2,184 photographs, 411 cm textual records, and 60 hours of moving images both through rehousing, arrangement, description, digitization for long term preservation and access, and the completion of a balanced budget by March 31, 2022 will identify success on the project goals.
Expected Results (French)
La réussite des objectifs du projet dépend de la gestion et de l’amélioration de l’accessibilité des 2 184 photographies, des 411 cm de documents textuels et des 60 heures d’images en mouvement grâce au déménagement, la classification, la description, la numérisation visant la préservation et l’accès à long terme, et par la réalisation d’un budget équilibré d’ici le 31 mars 2022.
