This blog chronicles the archival processing of the Douglas Cardinal Collection at the Carleton University Archives and Research Collections. This is a place for storytelling and reflection as we work through over 300 boxes that comprise the collection. Douglas Cardinal is one of Canada’s most renowned architects. His flowing architecture is distinguished by its smooth lines and is shaped by his Aboriginal heritage as well as European Expressionist architecture. Cardinal donated his collection to the Carleton Archives and Research Collections in 2011. This project is supported by the Carleton University Archives and Research Collections and Carleton Centre for Public History (CCPH).Tumblr (3.0; @dcardinalproject)http://dcardinalproject.tumblr.com/These past few days I’ve been examining files from the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI)...http://dcardinalproject.tumblr.com/post/23166937736http://dcardinalproject.tumblr.com/post/23166937736Wed, 16 May 2012 11:15:57 -0400NMAIFirst Nationsmuseumpublic historyUSAThe last few months have been a busy time for the Douglas Cardinal Collection here at Archives and...http://dcardinalproject.tumblr.com/post/22840835921http://dcardinalproject.tumblr.com/post/22840835921Fri, 11 May 2012 10:17:00 -0400ARCDouglas CardinalMuseum of CivilizationCarleton UniversityArchives Hello all!
