Canada's Digital Collections: Model Proposals

MODEL PROPOSALS


Industry Canada submits contract proposals to a Project Selection Advisory Committee composed of experts on content. This Committee rank-orders all proposals submitted to a given competition, taking account of the following criteria:

assurance of sound team management and technical leadership;
contractor's ability to guarantee a high-quality product;
significance of material to be digitized;
suitability of the material for inclusion in a digital collection on the Canada's Digital Collections server;
design of the proposed digital collection.

The following proposals were submitted to one of the three competitions for funding which were held in 1998–1999. They were all rated very highly by the Committee. These proposals have been posted in the hope that they can provide guidance to potential applicants in terms of presentation and style.
