Coalition for Canadian Digital Heritage
Friday October 04, 2024
From 9:00am to 10:00am
The Coalition for Canadian Digital Heritage (CCDH), formerly the National Heritage Digitization Strategy, is a cross-sectoral coalition of memory organizations committed to expanding digital access to Canada’s cultural heritage. The NHDS was established in 2016, with the aim of collaboratively working towards strategy and best practices for the greater accessibility of cultural heritage. Since then, it has undertaken a business planning process, a strategic planning process and name change, which culminates in CCDH’s strategic framework and subsequent outputs by our dedicated working groups and committees. In this session, Jonathan Bengtson, Chair of the CCDH Executive Committee, will provide an update on CCDH’s strategic framework, and key highlights from our working groups completed in 2023-2024, one of which recently published CCDH Principles. We hope to engage and inform attendees on the progress we have made towards our strategic goals and discuss the potential applications of the CCDH Principles.
