Drs. Anver Emon (representing MiCA-National) and Catherine Larouche (representing MiCA-Quebec) will share details about the project and its importance on both a national scale and in the province of Quebec.

Professors Emon and Larouche will discuss the value our everyday items (photographs, flyers, postcards, tapes, CDs, etc.) have when they are collected and organized. They will show some examples of collected materials so far and how the individuals and communities in Quebec can contribute to the growing archive.

If you know of individuals and community organizations in the Montreal area who may be interested in this event, we encourage you to share this invitation.

We are especially grateful to C.O.R and Université Laval for their generous support of the project.
