    Indigenous Co-trainer, Archives Association of British Columbia
     

    Location: British Columbia
    Compensation: $30.00 / hour

    The Archives Association of British Columbia (AABC) is a non-profit organization that was established in 1990 and supports archives, archivists, records professionals and all those with an interest in documentary heritage in British Columbia. As a member of the Canadian Council of Archives, the Association represents archival institutions in British Columbia at the national level. 

    The AABC assists the community through education, professional development, and advisory services with the goal to increase the capacity of archives throughout the province to preserve and provide access to BC's documentary heritage; maintenance of the provincial database, MemoryBC; and provides infrastructure to support networking opportunities for the archival community. The AABC is a registered society in the Province of British Columbia, as well as a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

    Social Media    

    Description and Duties    

    Funded by Library and Archives Canada's Documentary Heritage Communities Program (DHCP), the AABC is seeking an Indigenous Co-trainer to work with the AABC Education and Advisory Services (EAS) Coordinator on the 2-year project: "Expanded Training and Support for Emerging Indigenous Archive Programs". This project will improve upon the previously developed workshop "Archives 101: Archival Practice for Indigenous Organizations" through expanded content and guest speakers. The EAS Coordinator and Indigenous Co-trainer will co-teach four workshops: three online, and one in-person workshop. The goal of these workshops is to help build archival capacity and foster a network of archival practice between Indigenous communities and organizations and the larger archival profession.

    The Indigenous Co-trainer will bring their lived experience working with cultural knowledge and community priorities to identify themes and resources that can be integrated into workshop content. The Indigenous Co-trainer reports to the EAS Coordinator throughout the project and will be provided with orientation to resource materials and access to AABC professional development materials to further their own archival training and knowledge. It is anticipated that this will be a reciprocal relationship and that the Indigenous Co-trainer has much traditional cultural knowledge in general to offer to the EAS program, the people in the community receiving the training, and the AABC as a whole.

    The total contract value for this 2-year position is $10,800.00 based on the approved completion of all contractor hours. Additional travel expenses related to the in-person workshop (location in B.C. to be determined) will be covered by grant funding.

    Indigenous Co-trainer responsibilities:

    • Reports to the AABC EAS Coordinator on project deliverables;
    • Liaise with the EAS Coordinator and community contacts to set workshop dates and send out a pre-workshop survey to set training priorities;
    • Work together with the EAS Coordinator to prepare workshop content & handouts, liaise with Indigenous guest speakers;
