After the success of the Introduction to Archives and Recorded Information Management Workshop in October, the Yukon Council of Archives (YCA) is excited to announce that we are hosting Archives & RIM Part 2: Introduction to Photo Collections and Digitization Workshop in Whitehorse on Tuesday, March 5 through Thursday, March 7, 9 AM to 4 PM.

Michelle Barroca will be returning as our Workshop Presenter. She is a very experienced Archives and RIM consultant specializing in Indigenous records organization. Michelle has a long-standing association with YCA, providing workshops and mentoring for First Nations and other organizations, including the First Nations Public Service Secretariat.

This workshop will build on the knowledge gained from our October workshop and apply Archives and RIM principles and practices to photo collections and digitization projects. It is open to all YCA members regardless of whether they attended the previous workshop. If this is your first workshop with us, you will have the option of joining a pre-workshop Intro to Archives and RIM Zoom session with Michelle in February, which will provide an introduction to key foundational concepts.

In this second workshop you will learn new, practical skills to help your organization better manage their important heritage records. The spring workshop will cover:

  • Key considerations for processing photo collections and digitization projects

  • Sharing stories and providing practical examples

  • Tours of Yukon Archives (and others TBD)

There is no cost to participate in the workshop. Participants who need assistance with travel and other costs to attend the workshop may apply to the Heritage Training Fund by January 15. More details are available on the HTF website or call the Yukon Historical & Museums Association at (867) 667-4704.

To register, email Miranda (yukoncnclarch@gmail.com) as soon as possible as space is limited.

Virtual Workshop Livestream

REGISTER NOW: https://archivists.ca/event-4223923

Workshop Schedule: https://archivists.ca/2021/schedule

Join our Yukon presenters at the ACA conference this summer!

  • Angela Code - Moderator

  • Gùdia, Mary Jane Johnson - Yukon First Nation Elder

  • Sheila Greer, Roberta Nakoochee and Nancy Vanden-Eykel - Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN)

  • Susan Parsons - Trondëk Hwëch'in First Nation (THFN)

  • Karly Leonard and Tahyah Van Bibber - Yukon Native Language Centre (YNLC)

This panel will explore the policies and procedures developed by the Yukon Council of Archives' Yukon Self-Governing First Nations members. With the increasing awareness of Indigenous records through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's (TRC) Calls to Action and other Indigenous activities across the world, YCA would like to take this opportunity to create a safe space to share some of our members' archival policies and procedures. This workshop will invite discussion on current practice in Indgenizing Canadian archives and how we can move Reconciliation efforts forward. YCA hopes by sharing our members' experiences in policy-making, it will encourage others to share similar efforts. Together, we can create policies that honour Indigenous perspectives relating to the care of their Nations' records. 

An opening statement acknowledging the workshop's location in the Traditional Territories of the Kwalin Dün First Nation and the Ta'an Kwä'chän Council will be given.

By the end of the workshop, participants will:

  1. Be better informed on the obstacles and parameters of creating archival policies and procedures relating to Indigenous archival heritage institutions and holdings.

  2. Have a better understanding of what it means to "Indigenize" archives and how that can be reflected in archival policies and procedures, using Yukon Self-Governing First Nations as case studies.

  3. Have an increased awareness of the developing critical discourse on Indigenization in the Canadian archival discipline.
