Increasing Access to Irreplaceable records of Our Histories of Migration and Ethnicity

EF 2017-18 · 2017-06-14

Résumé
In Phase II of this project, the Multicultural History Society of Ontario (MHSO) will perform the intellectual and physical rearrangement and re-description of its archival holdings in accordance with current archival standards, with a focus on digital and textual records. MHSO will also finalize descriptions for its ethnic newspaper and historical photograph collections; review, appraise, arrange, process/preserve, and describe textual records; and produce administrative histories for the newspapers and custodial histories for selected images in the photograph collection based on new research. This will result in RAD-compliant descriptions at the fonds, series, sub-series, and item levels (as appropriate) for all archival holdings. These descriptions will be entered into open-source software and made available to the public through the MHSO's website and various archival information networks.

Description (French)
Dans la deuxième phase de ce projet, conformément aux normes archivistiques en vigueur, la Multicultural History Society of Ontario (MHSO) procédera à la réorganisation intellectuelle et physique et au renouvellement de la description de ses documents d’archives, notamment de ses documents numériques et textuels. De plus, la MHSO mettra la dernière main aux descriptions des documents de ses collections de journaux ethniques et de photographies historiques; étudiera, évaluera, organisera, traitera ou préservera et décrira les documents textuels; et produira des historiques administratifs pour les journaux et des historiques d’intendance pour certaines images de la collection de photographies d’après les nouveaux travaux de recherche. Ainsi, pour tous les documents d’archives, la description des fonds, des séries, des sous séries et des pièces (le cas échéant) sera conforme aux Règles pour la description des documents d’archives (RDDA). Ces descriptions seront intégrées à un logiciel ouvert et mises à la disposition du public par l’intermédiaire du site Web de la MHSO et de divers réseaux d’information archivistique.
