[BCMA] Fwd: [Archives-bc] Reminder: Elimination of the NADP and the CCA's Call to Action

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

I thought I sent a message out to the listserv regarding the issues facing Canadian archives but I did not see it go through. Apologies if I missed it.

Please see the message below from the Archives Association of BC with information on how archives professionals and their colleagues can fight the elimination of the National Archives Development Plan (NADP). This small federal program has funded projects all across the country and will affect the continuation of the work of  the Canadian Council of Archives (CCA) as well as provincial / territorial professional associations. Please consider signing the e-petition (link below) for the cut of the NADP will also be felt in museums that have archival holdings in their collections.

Thank you,

Caroline
