Call for Nominations: Canadiana Content Sub-Committee

March 02, 2022

CRKN is sharing a call for nominations for the Canadiana Content Sub-Committee (CCSC).

The role of the CCSC is to provide CRKN staff with guidance and recommendations for developing and enhancing the Canadiana collections and implementing the content development recommendations of the Heritage Content Priorities Task Group (HCPTG) Report.

The CCSC is expected to provide guidance on the following, as outlined in the HCPTG report:

  • Creating collection development strategies for Canadiana content including the development of a process for identifying, prioritizing, and adding new content;
  • Ensuring that the collections embody the following principles:
    • Representative: The Canadiana Collections will be developed to represent the geographic, socio-cultural, and linguistic diversity of Canada with a view to historically under-represented and marginalized voices and communities.
    • Collaborative: The Canadiana Collections will be developed in close collaboration with CRKN members, stakeholders, and other partner organizations to ensure alignment of priorities and to avoid duplication of effort.
    • Open Access: The Canadiana Collections will focus on open access content when possible, recognizing that some valued materials, for cultural reasons, may not be appropriate for open access.

Reporting to the Preservation and Access Committee (PAC), the CCSC advises the Heritage Services team within CRKN on the responsibilities listed above. It is anticipated that the CCSC will initially meet every two months and will eventually transition to meeting on an as-needed basis as HCPTG recommendations are implemented. Service on the CCSC is voluntary and non-remunerative.

The PAC invites nominations for:

  • One (1) current member of the PAC to act as Chair
  • One (1) member with expertise working with Indigenous archival materials
  • One (1) to three (3) librarians, archivists, or curators with collection development experience from CRKN’s member or associate member institutions, who shall, when possible, reflect the diversity of CRKN membership (small, medium, and large institutions, and regional diversity)
  • One (1) to three (3) scholars or researchers from CRKN’s member or associate member institutions who use Canadiana content in their research
  • One (1) independent scholar or researcher at a non-CRKN member institution who uses Canadiana content in their research

Sub-committee members serve for a term of two years, with the possibility of renewal for a second two-year term. A rough estimate of the annual time commitment required for serving on the group can be calculated as follows:

Meeting every 2 months

12 hours

1 hour prep time per meeting

6 hours

Individual work and communication with CRKN staff

6 hours

Total commitment (each year)

24 hours

The sub-committee will be supported by a CRKN staff member as designated by the Executive Director.  Other CRKN staff may be called upon to participate in meetings as resource personnel, as required.

Individuals may choose to self-nominate or to nominate another individual provided all pertinent details are provided as described below. Completed nomination forms should be sent to CRKN c/o Jason Friedman (jfriedman@crkn.ca) no later than April 1st, 2022, and including the following information:

  • Contact information for the nominee;
  • An indication of their willingness to serve;
  • Brief biographical details and relevant work experience to illustrate expertise in and enthusiasm for the work of the sub-committee;
  • Name of the nominee’s immediate supervisor and assurance that this workload and time commitment meets with their approval.
