About

On April 30, 2012, the National Archival Development Program (NADP) was eliminated. Surplus notices were sent to Library and Archives Canada (LAC) to ultimately reduce its staff by 20%. Libraries and archives in the Transport, Immigration, and Public Works departments were unilaterally shut down.

As archivists, we say “Enough.” We will not allow the federal government and senior management of LAC to compromise, assault, and destroy the Canadian archival network and the heritage that it preserves and makes available. We will not allow ideologues to tear apart the work of generations of archivists. We will not allow archives to fall prey to one-sided cultural wars. We will fight back. We will be heard.


À propos

Le 30 avril 2012, le Programme national de développement des archives (PNDA), a été aboli. Des avis de postes excédentaires ont été envoyés à Bibliothèque et Archives Canada (BAC) dans le but de réduire le personnel de 20%. Les bibliothèques des ministères du Transport, Immigration et Travaux publics ont été éliminées.

Comme archivistes, nous disons: «Assez, c’est assez !». Nous ne permettrons pas que le gouvernement fédéral et les cadres supérieurs de BAC compromettent, attaquent et détruisent le réseau canadien des archives et le patrimoine que BAC et les autres institutions d’archives de ce réseau conservent et mettent à la disposition des Canadiens. Nous ne permettrons pas que des idéologues puissent détruire le travail de générations d'archivistes. Nous ne permettrons pas que les archives paient seules le prix de guerres culturelles. Nous allons nous battre. Nous serons entendus.
