Infrastructure for Oral History The Melgund Township Oral History Project

Infrastructure for Oral History

Art Borups Corners September 27, 2025

Developing a community history and arts app to preserve Melgund Township stories, photos, and creative projects digitally.

Binding the Digital Book was a summer project exploring the intersection of storytelling, design, and digital craft. The goal was to help young artists and writers not only create stories, but learn how to shape them into professional-quality e-books — works that are as durable, accessible, and intentional as any printed publication. While creative writing formed the foundation, this phase focused on digital bookmaking as an art form — understanding how structure, typography, and accessibility come together to turn raw manuscripts into cohesive, distributable digital collections. The process became an interdisciplinary learning space where narrative met interface design, and coding met creative publishing.

Into the National Record

This week, our storytelling club took an important step in ensuring that our work will be preserved for generations to come. We submitted our first Digital Legal Deposit to Library and Archives Canada (LAC). The submission included the EPUB edition of our book Where Dignity Grows: Stories of Self, Others, Nature, and Community. While the process itself is straightforward—uploading the digital file along with basic publisher information—it carries great meaning. By depositing our publication, we are contributing to Canada’s national collection and making sure that our voices are part of the country’s permanent cultural record.
