In this episode I discuss the recent conclusion of the "Healing and Education Through Digital Access" project undertaken by the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre. I talk about community engagement, how not all information wants to be free, and online access.
I would love to hear about your experiences working with community to undertake a digitization project. Leave a comment or send me a message on Twitter.
Mentioned in this episode:

All Information Wants to be Free: The Case Study of On Our

A huge thank you to my colleague Jenna Lemay who did much of the
heavy lifting on this project and who was responsible for
developing the metadata for the Letter Books.
