Delta Museum gets database boost 
Jes Abeita, Vancouver Sun, Wednesday, July 21, 2010 

The Delta Museum and Archive Society is getting a $25,000 shot in 
the arm from the Museums Assistance Program of the Department of 
Canadian Heritage. 

The money will help the society add to the documentation of the 
collections, build a shared database for museum and archives 
collections and upload the new database to the Delta Museum and 
Archives website. 

"This funding comes at a key time for our organization, and the need 
to update our policies, procedures, and technologies related to the 
management of our collections and archival databases has never been 
greater," said Mark Sakai, executive director of the society. 

The non-profit was founded in 1969 with a mandate to preserve local 
history for future generations. The funding was announced 
Wednesday by the Ministry of Canadian Heritage and Official 
Languages.
