IMPORTANT NOTICE - Posted April 27th 2006 For Immediate Release From: SaskHeritage.Org, Regina, SK RE: SaskHeritage.Org announces launch of New Heritage Web Site and Summer Project SaskHeritage.Org is an organization dedicated to the Preservation of Saskatchewan's Heritage through digitization, education and participation in Community Projects. We are proud to announce that we will be sponsoring SaskHeritage.Com's "Mobile Digitization Project"! (see http://www.saskheritage.com/) Consisting of people with a passion to keep the proud traditions and cultures of Saskatchewan's past from being forgotten, like Genealogists and Historical Researchers, the Project Team's goal is to digitize all of Saskatchewan's Community Past and archive the information for viewing by persons with an interest in Saskatchewan. Project Members will be visiting Saskatchewan Communities beginning in the Summer of 2006 to perform "Digitization Clinics" and digitally record Cemetery records and other documentation relevant to genealogical and historical pursuits. Use of these records will be governed by Canadian Privacy Laws and at no time will living persons' sensitive information be used without specific consent from the individual. Information about preservation and maintenance of items of significance to Saskatchewan Heritage (example: gravestones/markers) along with demonstrations of various cleansing and preserving techniques will be available in each location the Team visits. Genealogical Seminars will also be available to interested participants when the "Mobile Digitization Project" visits a community. Family tree hobbyists, amateur genealogists and even seasoned researchers will find useful information in these sessions, which are designed to demonstrate the many facets of building a complete and accurate Family Tree. Other Seminars are available to governments (local and municipal), societies and associations, and other interested groups. The Organization is seeking members and volunteers from Communities across Saskatchewan. Person's interested in forming a Community Chapter of SaskHeritage.Org, or wishing to suggest/participate in a Heritage Project should visit the organization's web site at: http://www.saskheritage.org/. SaskHeritage.Org is a non-profit organization and is sponsoring the Mobile Digitization Project. Donation information can be found at http://www.saskheritage.org/ . |
