• Funding for arranging and describing archival materials so they can be added to ArchWay and ArchivesCanada. (Objective #1)
• Funding for preservation management activities, in this order: first a global preservation assessment, then actions recommended by the assessment, then policies and procedures developed, then item-level treatment of records at risk. (Objective #5)
• Funding for arranging and describing archival records created by or about First Nations peoples or other under-represented ethno-cultural groups (i.e. not Acadian, Gaelic, African or English). (Objective #3)
