Purpose

The project will digitize and migrate these materials to UNB’s existing online archival database. Once uploaded, materials will be organized by keyword and research topic, ensuring that they are easily searchable. All applicable meta-data (date, author, origin, etc.) will be included. A digital map exhibit based on the digitized materials will show locations of important cultural sites (captikwl/creation stories, transformer sites, villages, Syilx/Okanagan place names) and provide contextual information about each site. A wall map version of the digital map will also be printed and posted in UNB’s office. The project will further UNB’s goal to collect, record, and preserve the UNB’s cultural heritage for the benefit of future generations.
