Community Memories Program - Program Guidelines: Criteria for Investment

CHIN’s evaluation of proposals will be based on the following criteria:

1. Evidence of exhibit planning including:
   • clearly defined subject that explores a particular aspect of the community’s history or way of life;
   • summary of planned content;
   • identification of content sources including types of contents (e.g. images, text, audio, community interviews, other media) and content providers (e.g. museum, associations, groups, schools, etc.);
   • workplan for the production of the exhibit.
     

     Note: an exhibit must be completed and submitted to CHIN within 9 months of the issuance of the contract by CHIN;

   • proposed uses of exhibit material beyond the Virtual Museum of Canada.
2. Degree to which the development of the exhibit will involve the community (e.g. volunteers, schools, libraries, Legion, community organizations). Priority will be given to proposals that have the strongest community partnerships and/or an intergenerational dimension.
3. Plans to publicize the exhibit within the community both during exhibit development and following the completion of the exhibit.
