[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*

*ROSSLAND, BC* – *The Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre has been awarded a
federal digitization grant to preserve and make accessible its multimedia
collection.*

In 2022, the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre (RMDC) completed a
multi-year Digitization Strategy for a collection that spans decades and
includes rare and unique footage of skiing and personal home videos that
contribute to the history and culture of Rossland. The audio collection
includes interviews with residents and community leaders, providing
valuable insights into the history and development of the area.

With a major grant of $45,250 from the Department of Canadian Heritage’s
Digital Access to History grant program and a supporting grant of $2104.60
from the Columbia Basin Trust’s Resident Directed Grants, the RMDC will be
able to digitize a large portion of its vast collection of film and audio
materials, ensuring that future generations have access to these valuable
cultural artifacts.
