Two York University researchers earn major SSHRC Partnership Grants – YFile

"Working collaboratively, four universities (York, Ryerson, Queen’s, Concordia), numerous archival organizations and policy advocates will advance counter-archival approaches to achieve four objectives:

1. Create new, practice-based knowledge and methodologies through seven case studies of community and/or independent archives in Canada;
2. Train and mentor the next generation of curators, archivists, cultural activists, scholars, digital humanists, artists, highly qualified personnel, cultural policy and intellectual property (IP) specialists to advance Canadian moving image heritage preservation, accessibility, and presentation;
3. Build a sustainable multilingual digital archive, an open access, 3D digital platform, where visitors can encounter, interact with and travel through different archival case studies; and
4. Foster an audiovisual archive network in Canada, linking community archives to citizens, researchers and policy-makers."
