The Lloydminster Museum + Archives is seeking consultant proposals for an Archival Restructure Project.
The Lloydminster Archives plays a vital role in preserving, managing, and providing access to the documentary heritage of this distinctive border community. Established and operated by volunteers from 2002 to 2020, the Archives was formally acquired by the City in 2020. Since that time, the collection has continued to expand and evolve. The Archives now operates within a municipal governance framework and must meet the standards consistent with public institutions.
The LMA is seeking the services of a qualified consultant to develop a comprehensive plan and lead the transition of the Archives from a primarily volunteer-run model to a fully standards-compliant, policy-driven institution aligned with recognized Canadian archival standards and best practices.
At a minimum, the Scope of Work will include:
- Conducting an in-person, comprehensive physical audit of the archival collection
- Developing and implementing standardized operational procedures and frameworks, supported by training delivered by the Consultant to staff and volunteers
- Drafting and establishing an archival policy, a strategic collecting plan, and long-term growth management strategy
The primary objective is to transition the Archives into a fully functional, policy-driven institution operating in accordance with recognized Canadian archival standards, supported by trained personnel and strengthened collection stewardship practices.
The project must be completed by December 1st, 2026.
