Work Schedule

Using materials from the KHS collections, as well as published and unpublished historical and ethnographic material available in-kind from the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre and the Hudson’s Bay Company archives at the Manitoba Museum, and other sources, we will research the history of the fur trade in the Kitikmeot using the project framework. After initial review of the material available, a concept document will be written to propose an outline and approach to the KHS. The concept for the exhibit will be developed by the KHS with the assistance of a contractor hired to design the exhibit. Recommendations for the design concept will then be drafted.

The collection of research and materials for use in the exhibit and for the development of educational materials will involve:

• reviewing oral history transcripts and selecting quotes;
• reviewing relevant historical and ethnographic sources;
• identifying video clips;
• identifying audio clips;
• selecting photographs;
• having selected materials reproduced;
• designing maps; and
• writing a report outlining recommendations for the development of the educational materials. The report will also include recommendations for ways to make these materials as accessible as possible to as many members of the community as possible.
