Description (French)
Le Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre (à Burnaby, en Colombie Britannique) et le Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (à Toronto, en Ontario) se lancent dans un projet commun visant à préserver l’histoire et le patrimoine des Canadiens d’origine japonaise pour l’ensemble de la société canadienne. Les deux organisations entendent collaborer pour préserver les documents concernés et en faciliter l’accès aux chercheurs, aux universitaires, aux étudiants, au grand public et à la Vancouver Japanese Language School, la plus ancienne école de langue japonaise au Canada. En 2018, le Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre fera l’objet de travaux d’agrandissement, qui toucheront les espaces d’entreposage permanents et temporaires. Ce sont les documents et les artefacts fragiles, ceux qu’il reste à ranger ailleurs et à décrire, qui risquent le plus d’être endommagés dans le déplacement. Le projet vise à atténuer les pertes ou les dommages par le traitement des documents les plus fragiles et recherchés des fonds.
