Description (French)
L’organisme Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario (FWIO) préservera, numérisera et rendra accessibles ses collections Tweedsmuir sur l’histoire de la collectivité (couramment appelées les « Tweedsmuirs ») et les livres d’inscription trouvés un peu partout en Ontario. Dans la foulée de la première phase du projet, le FWIO continuera de numériser les livres d’inscription et les collections Tweedsmuir qui restent en Ontario pour les rendre accessibles au public. De plus, il inspectera et réparera les documents numérisés, ajoutera des liens vers des documents des Women’s Institutes (WI) déjà publiés sur d’autres sites Web et, pour souligner le 120e anniversaire du mouvement des WI en 2017, créera une exposition et une bibliothèque virtuelles qui témoigneront des nombreuses constructions des membres des WI dans le cadre de leur service communautaire (salles, bâtiments communautaires, monuments, cairns, etc.).
