Module 2 Post 1: Indigitization

I find this site, Indigitization, very interesting – here is a snippet from the site:

“UBC Library’s Irving K. Barber Learning Centre has created a new grant for B.C. Aboriginal organizations to convert audio cassette tapes to digital formats for preservation and access. The program will provide equipment, training and funding support for up to six projects per year, with applications accepted twice a year.”

I’m not sure at this point of how much I will use this site for my final paper, but I was drawn to it because it reminds people of the importance of documenting and preserving aspects of First Nation culture, and it’s very current and ongoing.
