		+	==June 2015 Arcan-L discussions on updates==
		+
		+	<admonition type="note">
		+	On June 2, 2015, Lara Wilson (Chair of CCA), posted a message in Arcan-L, the Canadian archival mailing list, about new developments in AtoM sponsored by the CCA so that the CCA's Directory of Archives could be maintained in ArchivesCanada once it is launched. The message is copied below.
		+
		+	This prompted a very interesting and important discussion about how to manage updates to ArchivesCanada going forward. To preserve these discussions, they have been added as a sub-page to this one, here: [[Development/Projects/ArchivesCanada/Communications/Updates\|June 2015 discussion of future updates to ArchivesCanada]]
		+
		+	The features discussed were included in the AtoM [[Releases/Release_announcements/Release_2.2\|2.2 release]].
		+	</admonition>
		+
		+	Dear Colleagues,
		+
		+	The Canadian Council of Archives has noted with interest the recent postings relating to estimates on the number of archives in Canada.
		+
		+	Generally, the community has used the number 800 as a ball park figure to reference the number of repositories. However, over the years the Directory of Archives at cdncouncilarchives.ca<http://cdncouncilarchives.ca/> has expanded up to 1200 institutions. The directory lists all self-identified archival institutions regardless of status. The Directory of Archives does not certify that an institution meets the definition of an archives (see Article 2.1 of the CCA's by-laws http://www.cdncouncilarchives.ca/bylaw.html#Anchor-2.1 )
		+
		+	An archives may be listed in the Directory of Archives even though it does not conform to the full definition of an archives. Further, many provincial and territorial councils have established additional criteria required to be officially considered an institutional member, and they have processes in place to formalize the recognition. Thus, while there may currently be 1100 institutions listed in the Directory of Archives the official number of archives may be less.
		+
		+	Programming is now complete on a new comprehensive repository listing at ARCHIVESCANADA.ca<http://archivescanada.ca/> and it will replace the outdated Directory of Archives at cdncouncilarchives.ca<http://cdncouncilofarchives.ca/>
		+
		+	CCA and Artefactual have recently started the upload process from the regional networks and a launch date for ARCHIVESCANADA.ca<http://archivescanada.ca/> 2.0 will be announced very soon -- stay tuned!

 We have an exciting year ahead of us!  Among the priorities for 2012, we will be dedicating significant effort and resources towards the launch of our new website and the implementation of the ICA-AtoM software for the national catalogue of archival descriptions, ARCHIVESCANADA.ca. The more robust and scalable hosting infrastructure will be rolled-out in Spring 2012 and will also include a mobile-friendly search interface.  Our sincere thanks to Library and Archives Canada and the Council of Provincial and Territorial Archivists for their generous financial contributions towards this important project.
- From the smallest volunteer-run archives, to our largest institutions, Canadian archives are deeply committed to preserving our documentary heritage and we frequently go "above and beyond" to assist our users and communities.  This spirit of collegiality and dedication is the backbone of the Canadian archival system; it is my hope that this holiday season will provide you with time away from your regular day-to-day work schedule and that you are able to enjoy a well deserved break with fun and celebration with your loved ones.
