This month’s blog post comes in the form of a recorded lecture on the project. “Uncommon Bonds and the Digital Return of Labrador Inuit Documentary Heritage” was delivered via Zoom on June 22, 2021 and explores the history of the collection, our approach to digital curation and how our work is shaped by new Inuit-directed approaches in documentary heritage.
