In this 22 May 2012 piece published on ActiveHistory.ca, Ian Milligan discusses the cuts made to archives across Canada, particularly those made at LAC. The article breaks down the realities for digital access at LAC, and requests that a call for better online access be brought into the fight against the cuts at LAC and to the CCA and NADP.
The Graduate History Students’ Association at York University has gathered together to cry out against the recent federal cuts to “institutions and programs that support the preservation, research, and accessibility of our country’s collective past.” The statement & call to action provides an excellent list of resources to help others inform themselves about the cuts affecting programs and institutions across Canada.
The link will take you to an article in the Globe and Mail by Jeremy Simpson regarding the cuts to recent heritage institutions and the larger implications for Canadian history.
