FY 2023-24 · 2023-07-04
Summary
Makivik Corporation holds a large number of analog and digital recordings on obsolete video and audio formats. They are of high value to both Makivik Corporation and Inuit culture and are comprised of radio and television interviews; press conferences; board meetings of Makivik Corporation or other Makivvik-affiliated organizations; meetings with Nunavik community members, federal and provincial politicians, business leaders, and members of the scientific community; oral history interviews with Nunavik Inuit elders; and several other crucial pieces of documentation representing the history of Makivik Corporation, Nunavik Inuit, and the James Bay Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA). These materials are a high preservation priority because they are actively degrading due to age, physical condition, technological obsolescence and the availability of required playback equipment.

Description (French)
La Société Makivik détient de nombreux enregistrements analogiques et numériques dans des formats vidéo et audio obsolètes. Ces enregistrements sont d’une grande valeur pour la Société Makivik et la culture inuit et comprennent des entrevues à la radio et à la télévision; des conférences de presse; des réunions du conseil d’administration de la Société Makivik ou d’autres organismes affiliés à la Société Makivik; des réunions avec des membres de la communauté du Nunavik, des politiciens fédéraux et provinciaux, des chefs d’entreprise et des membres de la communauté scientifique; des entrevues d’histoire orale avec des Aînés inuit du Nunavik; plusieurs autres documents cruciaux pour l’histoire de la Société Makivik, des Inuit du Nunavik et de la Convention de la Baie-James et du Nord québécois.
La préservation de ces documents est hautement prioritaire, car ils se dégradent en raison de leur âge, de leur état physique, de l’obsolescence technologique et de la disponibilité limitée des appareils de lecture requis.
