15-year anniversary of Project Naming: Lunch, tour and conversations at CUAG

Library and Archives Canada in collaboration with Carleton University invite you to commemorate 15 years of Project Naming. Please join us to attend any of the free sessions on Wednesday March 1 to Friday March 3, 2017, as we gather to reflect on the past 15 years of Project Naming and its engagement with Aboriginal communities, and look to the future of this important initiative.

On Thursday, 2 March, CUAG will host an afternoon session, beginning with lunch and a tour of The Other NFB: The National Film Board of Canada’s Still Photography Division, 1941-1971 by co-curators Carol Payne and Sandra Dyck. There will also be a conversation with Elder Piita Irniq, Elder Manitok Thompson, and Elder Sally Webster, moderated by Deborah Kigjugalik Webster.

Project Naming provides a virtual space enabling First Nations, Métis Nation and Inuit communities to access Canada’s historic photo collections and engage in the identification of people and locations, thereby reconnecting with their history to share memories and stories rekindled by the photographs.

This event is free and includes lunch, but please register (see link below).
