Bank Street – Ottawa’s Main Street

Bank Street – Ottawa’s Main Street, is a digital history platform that allows the public to access stories, photos, and interviews about buildings and businesses and the people who lived and worked there. It uniquely brings together three fields: public history, labour history, and business history. In addition to enhancing her archival research skills, the intern will acquire new skills and experience in building and curating on-line digital histories, project management and development, and communication skills. The project will also provide considerable benefits for Know History, including an increased community presence. The collaboration with the CCPH, and the Public History program at Carleton University may in the future yield future partnerships and employees. Furthermore, the publicity from the project will aid in the attraction of new cliental for the company. The project will also allow Know History to expand on its digital expertise and knowledge of local history.
