CYFN Archives Access Project

FY 2020-21 · 2020-05-20

Summary
This project focuses on the appraisal, arrangement and creation of descriptions, based on Rules for Archival Description, for 276 boxes of unorganized records related to executive, environmental and governance matters of Yukon First Nations (YFNs). The project will enable YFNs, researchers and the public to access the documents. This frequently requested material includes information on land claims, treaty implementation, urgent northern climate change issues, and community resources. It is the most comprehensive collection available for YFN communities, with documents from the 1970s to 2010. Access is not currently possible because the series is unorganized and requires Access to Information and Protection of Privacy assessment, since personal, corporate and confidential treaty records are stored with other general information.

Description (French)
Le projet consiste à évaluer, organiser et décrire (conformément aux Règles pour la description des documents d’archives) 276 boîtes de documents non organisés portant sur l’administration, l’environnement et la gouvernance au sein des Premières Nations du Yukon. Il permettra à ces dernières, aux chercheurs et au public d’accéder aux documents. Ces documents sont fréquemment demandés; ils comprennent des renseignements sur les revendications territoriales, la mise en œuvre de traités, les enjeux urgents liés aux changements climatiques dans le Nord et les ressources communautaires. Il s’agit de la collection la plus complète sur les Premières Nations du Yukon, avec des documents allant des années 1970 à 2010. À l’heure actuelle, la collection n’est pas accessible parce qu’elle n’est pas organisée. De plus, une évaluation relative à l’accès à l’information et à la protection des renseignements personnels est nécessaire du fait que des documents personnels, organisationnels et confidentiels relatifs à des traités figurent parmi les renseignements généraux.
