The National Heritage Digitization Strategy (NHDS) was created in 2016 to bring together Canadian memory institutions to improve access to digital collections and better preserve our cultural heritage. Over the past year, the NDHS has expanded its governing structure and embarked on an ambitious strategic planning process to refine its mission and vision. The Executive Committee of the NHDS has engaged the community in this strategic planning process so that the future of the NHDS may be shaped by the community collectively.
