But now that it is built there is no funding, and nobody works there.<br /><br />A lot of images in the collection are missing descriptions since the focus is on producing numbers now, to make it look like it's business as usual after the budget cuts, and hoping the public will fill in the missing information (keyword "crowd-sourcing").

This is the Federal Government, they have to provide everything in both English and French, and that takes time and money.

There was no caption or explanation with each photo. <br />Everyone who has researched any aspect of history in an archive or library knows that it is extremely frustrating to find an illustration which has no details about its content. How could LAC not know this ???

Maybe Mr. Caron;s lack of attendance at the CLA, ACA and the FLAC events were just a matter of timing?J.

Mr. Caron did not address the 2011 Assocaition of Canadian Archivists Conference held in Toronto earlier this month, nor did he address the 2011 Coference of the Canadian Library Association in Halifax in May of this year ... Perhaps he is not well?J. Brian Gilchristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003947542628535041noreply@blogger.com
