Inuit Broadcasting Corporation Film and Video Archives

The Inuit Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) announced in March that significant progress has been made on preserving the Inuit Film and Video Archives (IFVA). The IBC produces award-winning television programming by Inuit, for Inuit, and it supports and celebrates Inuit cultural identity and practices. They have collected over 40 years of film that includes an estimated 9,000 hours of footage, which IFVA archivists are working to digitally preserve and physically protect. The archive is made available to onsite researchers and digitally through research requests; a small portion of content is available online at the IBC, the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and Isuma TV websites.
