The British Columbia History Digitization Program
<https://ikblc.ubc.ca/initiatives/bcdigitinfo/> (BCHDP), launched by the
Irving K. Barber Learning Centre in 2006, provides matching funds to
support digitization projects that make unique British Columbia content
freely available.


In October 2021, the BCHDP will be accepting applications for the 2022/2023
funding year. Applicants can receive up to $15,000 of matching
funds for their projects. In 2021, the program awarded more than
