Cumberland House Pinay Collection Image Project

This research project enables an intern to work with the Friends of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum to undertake a project working with the Pinay Collection in the Ethnobotany collection at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum. The Pinay collection was acquired through a donation to the RSM and includes 56 photographs taken in Cumberland House, SK at the early turn of the century. Also included in the collection are a number of significant cultural items that are also likely to come from the community of Cumberland House, SK. The student will work with the FRSM and Cumberland House partners to develop more accurate descriptions for the images, determine the names of individuals, and assist in developing a shared stewardship agreement with Cumberland House.
