[BCMA] CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST: Coalition for Canadian Digital Heritage (CCDH) Executive Committee

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

After extensive community engagement to develop an updated strategic
framework, the National Heritage Digitization Strategy is uniting under a
new name: The Coalition for Canadian Digital Heritage (CCDH). We are
excited to be sharing the new strategic framework and the next steps for
the CCDH with you very soon.

Today the Coalition for Canadian Digital Heritage invites expressions of
interest from members of the GLAM (gallery, library, archive, and museum)
community to join the CCDH Executive Committee.

The Coalition for Canadian Digital Heritage (CCDH) is a cross-sectoral
coalition of memory organizations committed to expanding digital access to
Canada’s cultural heritage. We strive to build an inclusive community of
practice, enabling and coordinating collaboration, capacity, and resources
to advance shared priorities. CCDH provides a collaborative framework for
individuals and organizations in advancing community-driven priorities and
short-term and long-term projects and initiatives, while sharing resources
and expertise and avoiding the duplication of efforts. By uniting as a
community, we more effectively harness the available resources and advocate
for a sustainable future for Canadian digital heritage.

The CCDH Executive Committee sets priorities and organizes projects for
various initiatives, in service of the digitization, preservation, and
discovery of Canadian heritage in alignment with the CCDH Strategic
Framework
