With the assistance of the Corporation de la Maison Dumulon and the Rouyn-Noranda Art Museum, Minwashin identify institutions that hold archives related to the Anishinabeg. Resquets for repatriation are made shortly after.

At the same time, historian Guillaume Marcotte conducts research on the evolution of our graphic heritage using archives found in museums.

Minwashin pursues its partnership with Dumulon House Corporation, which creates an initial version of the website.

The third Miaja gathering, which focuses on heritage, generates enthusiam for archives preservation. A strategy aimed at digitizing archives on the Anishinabe Aki is developped in partnership with students from the School of Library and Information Sciences at the University of Montreal.

Minwashin works with the McCord Museum, the Museum of Civilization, and Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec to publish a significant number of archives on Nipakanatik. Thanks to these key partners, hundreds of historical documents are made accessible on the website.

A major digitization tour takes place in the Anishinabe Aki. Our team prioritizes digitizing documents that are at risk of degrading in the short term. We travel in a recreational vehicule converted into a full-fledged digitization lab.
