The Coalition for Canadian Digital Heritage has issued Year in Review 2023. Here are the main points.
- Strategic Framework: CCDH finalized and published its strategic framework in the first half of 2023. This was a collaborative effort undertaken by committee members and stakeholders.
- Working Groups Formation: In the second half of 2023, CCDH shifted its focus to actualizing strategic priorities. This was done through the formation of working groups that correspond to the three primary strategic priorities established in the framework.
- Community Growth: CCDH aspires to grow its community into a diverse and highly representative coalition of practitioners across memory organizations in Canada.
- Re-envisioning of the National Heritage Digitization Strategy: Emerging from an extensive national, multi-sectoral consultation and strategic planning process in 2022-2023, CCDH is a re-envisioning of the National Heritage Digitization Strategy.
- Enhancing Digital Presence of Canada’s Cultural Heritage: CCDH aims to bring diverse people and organizations together to leverage collective knowledge, infrastructure, and resources to enhance the digital presence of Canada’s cultural heritage.
It would appear no actual material was digitized through the initiative in 2023. Will that happen in 2024?
