Purpose of the project:
Fasken Martineau DuMoulin, at 135 years old, is one of the oldest law firms in Vancouver. We have documents and images going back to the beginning of our firm, which we would love to be able to access and use for firm events, marketing, and general internal use. We have had much of the print and all photos scanned and would like a proper, accessible, organized archive to be viewed and accessible to the firm
Summary of activities required to carry out the project:
-
Review the scans of photo albums, loose photos, letters, letterhead, firm retreat documents, scripts from firm presentations, and other items alongside the originals to create metadata tags
-
Group, organize, and tag the scanned items and advise on storage or destruction of the originals
-
Provide a simple, accessible display / search in SharePoint (other options possible based on the suggestion of the student) to provide access to the firm
Expectations of the end result of the project, for both host and student:
Preservation of the firm’s history and heritage, accessible to all members of the firm
Time periods in which the project could be supervised:
- Winter Term 1 (September – December)
- Winter Term 2 (January – April)
Is there a deadline by which the project must be completed?
There is no deadline – we are happy to have this worked on for as many terms as necessary, as we realize how large the project is.
