digitization digital archiving archival preservationThis student project will work with team members to support the organization and digitization of important 2SLGBTQ+ community records and archival documents as part of the Edmonton Queer History Project. This may include work locating records in the City of Edmonton Archives, Province of Alberta Archives, and other sources.
The student will work with project team members to help locate, review, and classify important community documents for archival preservation. This work includes liaising with MacEwan and University of Alberta libraries to digitize materials, and organizing and including final digitized copies in the Edmonton Queer History Project’s digital archive.
The student will work with the EQHP team, which will provide mentoring in archival research, archival, and digitization standards. Open office space can be provided at the MacEwan Centre for Sexual and Gender Diversity and there is flexibility to work independently and remotely. Some travel to libraries and archives may be required.
