Tahltan Stewardship Initiative | TCG Archives Projec PROJECT CHARTE
1. Project Purpos Phase 1 of the Tahltan Central Government (TCG) Archives Project will result in a physical repository of organized and safely stored records and materials created and accumulated by the TCG and its previous incarnations. The future and final phase of this project will open access to TCG’s records and materials holdings, which will support TCG administration and operations, and facilitate knowledge sharing and reaffirming culture and identity across the Tahltan Nation.
2. Backgroun Under the Tahltan Stewardship Initiative (TSI), the TCG Archives Project is a multiphased project that will ultimately result in a permanent TCG Archives office; a key site of information stewardship and governance at the TCG. The TCG Archives Project will create certainty of TCG’s legal, physical, and intellectual management and access of the records and materials in its holdings and of incoming records and materials from internal and external sources. Through traditional archival processes, the project will bring into view the legal, fiscal, administrative, historical, and evidentiary value of its records and materials The continued development of a physical and digital archives, and its policies and procedures, will ultimately open access to a significant holding of records and materials, spanning from the 1800s to the present day, that have been partially inaccessible to TCG leadership, its staff and Tahltan membership. Lack of continuous and adequate funding, changes in Tahltan government’s programming, leadership and mandates, and natural disasters have been the most significant barriers to realizing a project of this scale and scope.
