Documentary heritage organizations across the country can now apply for funding for the 2025–2026 cycle of Library and Archives Canada’s (LAC) Documentary Heritage Communities Program (DHCP).
LAC gives close to $1.5 million every year to community organizations so they can dedicate the necessary resources to projects aimed at promoting their collections and making them more accessible, while strengthening their capacity to preserve Canada’s documentary heritage.
These organizations play a vital role in preserving Canada’s history. LAC is proud to contribute to documenting, preserving and making accessible to the public stories that reflect the diverse experiences and cultures of Canadian society.
Visit the DHCP web page to obtain all the details, such as eligibility criteria and the application form, or for help filling out an application. Eligible organizations are invited to submit their application by January 9, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. (PST).
Since the DHCP was launched in 2015, LAC has provided $14.97 million in support to 376 documentary heritage community projects across Canada.
Last year, of the 36 recipients, 10 organizations received funding for Indigenous documentary heritage projects, and nine organizations received funding for Francophone documentary heritage projects.
An organization can receive funding of up to $50,000 per year (up to $60,000 for a remote organization) to implement its projects.
