Indigenous Community Archives Toolkit
A toolkit of resources compiled by Saskatchewan Polytechnic aimed towards Indigenous and other community groups looking to create and maintain digital archives.
A toolkit created by the Archives Association of British Columbia (AABC) which offers access to a wide range of online and published resources for archivists and archives workers at all levels. The toolkit aims to provide access to useful links and examples for small and medium-sized archives, no matter what stage their archival collection is in. Includes sections on "Digitization & Automation" and "Electronic Records & Digital Preservation Management."
A Manual for Small Archives (AABC)
This manual from the AABC is written to help staff and volunteers working in small archives, with limited access to training, with few employees, and with restricted finances and time. The manual explains archival principles and practices and offers guidelines and suggestions for various archival activities.
