The Hivumuuniaqtugut oral history archive brings together historical materials to tell the story of Uqsuqtuuq through Inuit history.
Looking Back to Move Forward – Digital Oral History Archive
At the centre of the Hivumuuniaqtugut Oral History Project is the digital oral history archive. This archive will consist of a digital display of all interviews, historical photos, audio recordings, and other collected materials from the project. The archive will be accessed as a touchscreen interactive kiosk that will showcase the history of the Nattilik Region, as told by Elders from the community. As the project grows, we will add more resources to it.
