In terms of adapting to new media's digital opportunities, I'm wondering about how much the heritage department has moved and shifted its understanding of collections. I'll give you an example.
When I was working with the Algonquin Nation, we tried to put together an online proposal through which we would put online various historic references and artifacts of the fur trade in the Algonquin-Outaouais region. These stories have been told by the Oblates and by the Hudson Bay Company, but nobody ever put them all together from the Algonquin perspective.
Because we didn't own any particular piece of the collection, we were getting permission to borrow it from Hudson Bay. We were looking to put it online in a comprehensive story told from the Algonquin perspective, but we couldn't find funding anywhere after months and months. We finally gave up. But it seems to me there are new ways to tell history, and there are new mediums through which to tell history. I'm wondering how far ahead on the cutting edge the department is keeping.
