“Digital” gets 16 mentions, “digitization” two. Neither of those two are in the article “LAC Looks Forward to the Next Decade.” Will LAC not bring the legacy material we seek into the digital age? The present lack of digitization initiatives is not encouraging as the present is often the best predictor of the future. Surely LAC could find something more current to cite than the amalgamation of the National Library and Public Archives nearly two decades ago to show that “LAC is a world leader.”
