The Eastern Townships Resource Centre (ETRC) plans to continue adding items to its online archives, the Eastern Townships Archives Portal, that was launched almost two weeks ago.
Future plans
In reply to my enquiry about immediate plans for the Archive Portal, archvist Jody Robinson said they expect to add new digitized material almost every week, although sometimes it may be only a few items at a time.
Can the online images be enlarged?
As for my question about whether the images on the website can be enlarged, the answer is “no.” If website visitors would like information on obtaining a copy of a photo to identify people or for other purposes, the ETRC encourages them to contact the society that holds the original. Ms. Robinson said, “Because each society has different policies and procedures for this, it was necessary for us to organize the database with this approach.”
