Heritage Information Network
The Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) supports Canadian museums
in the effort to create, present and manage Canadian online content
for public access and educational purposes.The CHIN site provides the
heritage community with access to a wide range of professional resources,
including online courses on image digitization and automated collections
management systems, information about professional events and career
opportunities, research and reference tools, intellectual property publications,
bibliographies, and data dictionaries.
CHIN
currently offers the following two support programs:
Virtual
Museum of Canada Program
Through the Virtual Museum of Canada (VMC), CHIN assists the Canadian
museum community in achieving a collective online presence. The VMC,
which is part of the Canadian Culture Online Program (CCOP), enables
Canadians to freely access, in both official languages, heritage content
and features developed by Canadian museums and galleries. Content includes
virtual exhibits, games, educational materials, close to 200,000 images
and records of museum treasures, and information about nearly 2,500
heritage attractions. For further information, consult the program guidelines
for the Virtual
Museum of Canada (VMC) Investment Program.
Community
Memories Program
The Community Memories program strengthens the capacity of smaller museums
to create web content by supporting their development of online local
history exhibits. Museums whose proposals are selected are supplied
with user-friendly software and a standard $5,000 investment.The program
is open to public, not-for-profit museums that have demonstrated their
commitment to work collaboratively with colleagues across the country
by becoming members of the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN).
