As we undertake the ongoing learning necessary to realize our decolonization commitments, we have drafted a document entitled “Situating Representations of Indigenous Knowledge in Place & Context: Recommendations for Vendors” as a resource for vendors and publishers to consider and apply to their practice as they seek to provide services to us. The recommendations are intended to evolve and be adapted over time. See document here: https://library.viu.ca/ld.php?content_id=36031193
Join CRKN staff and representatives from CRKN’s Preservation and Access Committee (PAC), the Platform Technical Subcommittee (PTSC) and the Canadiana Trustworthy Digital Repository Audit Group (CTDRAG) for an overview of the CRKN heritage program and key initiatives over the last year.
This session includes a 10-minute break from 1:00 to 1:10 p.m. ET.
