The Canadian Military History Gateway
(CMHG) is a new website designed to provide the public with free
access to the collective military history resources of Canadian
museums, libraries, archives and other heritage organizations through
a single gateway.
It was developed by the Department of National Defence as an
initiative supported by the Department of Canadian Heritage's
Canadian Culture Online Program and was produced in partnership with
Veterans Affairs Canada, the Canadian War Museum, Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), National Film Board of Canada,
Library and Archives Canada, and Parks Canada.
The CMHG is an authoritative source of Canadian military history
information, with more than 4,000 unique links to military history
resources on partner sites, including animation, art, artifacts,
film, interactive games, music, narratives, photos and scholarly
research. Users will find links to every NFB production having to do
with conflict and peace.
The proposed launch will take place in two phases. The go-live
date is June 30, 2004,
while the official launch is scheduled for September 2004. This will
consist of a modest publicity campaign, distribution of pamphlets,
posters and educational materials (including a teacher's kit), a
media advisory, and a media event. Check out the site at: www.cmhg.gc.ca. |
