Photo: A slice of Cape Dorset’s art history, archived

Art archivists and researchers, from left, Richard Laurin, Maxine Veneracion and Elyse Portal, stand down one aisle in an expansive vault in the basement of the McMichael art gallery just north of Toronto. The vault houses some 100,000 drawings and prints from Cape Dorset’s West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative, on loan since 1991. The collection is in the process of being digitized through a partnership with York University; 4,000 of the works have already been put into digital form, with the goal of preserving and returning the collection to Nunavut one day.
