Library and Archives Canada in collaboration with Carleton University invite you to commemorate 15 years of Project Naming. Please join us to attend any of the free sessions on Wednesday March 1 to Friday March 3, 2017, as we gather to reflect on the past 15 years of Project Naming and its engagement with Aboriginal communities, and look to the future of this important initiative.

On Thursday, 2 March, CUAG will host an afternoon session, beginning with a tour of “The Other NFB: The National Film Board of Canada’s Still Photography Division, 1941-1971” by co-curators Carol Payne and Sandra Dyck. There will also be a Photo Identification Workshop using photographs of the North from the NFB Still Photography Division. This session will be led by Elder Piita Irniq, Elder Ann Mikijuk Hanson, and Elder Sally Webster, and moderated by Deborah Kigjugalik Webster.

Project Naming provides a virtual space enabling First Nations, Métis Nation and Inuit communities to access Canada's historic photo collections and engage in the identification of people and locations, thereby reconnecting with their history to share memories and stories rekindled by the photographs.
