Welcome to our new development site — it’ll change as we go (currently this site contains snippets of content from the existing site: dcd.ca).
We are launching a new two-year development program to help connect people with DCD’s digital collection.
And. It’s not just about ‘building a site’ but building something that is open, scalable, repeatable and brings together a wide community of practice (a ‘Constellation’) to engage in developing for everyone.
If you’ve been involved in a related initiative, we want to build upon it, and—being open—help take your work forward too. Got a project that is 90% complete? Maybe we could bridge some of that last mile together?
Find out more and sign up right now
Please help us connect to people who are interested in any of the following areas:
- Dance & culture
- Archives & history
- Digital collections and how we can build things that people want to use
- Developing online communities that can connect with each other around the world
- Developing a groundbreaking approach to archives, how they are used and accessed
- Teachers, lecturers, students and others who are interested in learning
Please forward this link to anyone and ask them to do the same. Given everyone is sitting at home at the moment, we think it’s a great time to be starting this work!

Such a hugely important initiative!!
Amazing
Congratulations on bringing this so far!
Interesting!
I visited DCD when I was in Toronto for a SDHS in June of 2013 – and have never forgotten it – and obviously you haven’t forgotten me…! This is the virtual project I have been working on for the past decade and I would like to share it – https://www.montclair.edu/creative-research-center/the-danceaturgy-archive/ — and i look forward to helping your efforts!
Thanks!
As I am the sister of Murray Farr, I keep meaning to write about his life. Your archives include a lot of material left after his death (1992) & if I could access it digitally, I just might work on this project ! Many who knew him keep urging me to write a book about his colourful life.
Hi there!
I am registering with my Eponymous brand, but I have a couple of others (ie Company605, DanceHouse, Kidd Pivot, Wen Wei Dance) that are also embedded within this one.
Congratulations for stepping up.
I’m interested in several of the areas
great initiative!
An excellent time to connect up with digital archives. Count me in!
This is terrific and I think you were already ahead of the curve on this
Thank you!
Yes!
This is wonderful. Thanks to the tiny ambitious team for making this very important initiative possible.
Sounds great!
I’m interested in being involved and possibly connecting some of the work we’ve been doing at CanDance.
Great!
Looking forward to the years to come, while looking back.
Wonderful. I’m happy to support this endeavour however I can.
For sure- I’m in!
Great idea – a rich history of dance in Canada to share. Happy to help.
Terrific initiative.
Bravo! This is so exciting! What can I do?
A wonderful initiative!. This is a much needed resource – providing members of the dance community the ability to pass little known dance focused information forward to the next generation of dancers.
Wonderful potential for this project
Looking forward to hear more!
A great initiative that should be helpful to dance researchers!
