a main logo for the Greater Sudbury Museums. The inspiration for the logos stems from the idea that Greater Sudbury is a patchwork community that combines cultural aspects from the nearby settlements of the area. The re-branding was focused around this concept, as well as their motto "cultural mosaic", to highlight each settlement's unique history as it comes together to form the Greater City of Sudbury. The cultural mosaic concept took inspiration from the unifying quilt by Mrs. Carolyn Wahamaa, who created imagery that "[symbolized] the harmony existing in the towns of Rayside-Balfour, Azilda and Chelmsford, as well as between Anglophone and Francophone residents, with each party maintaining its own identity". Online resources The museums' website incorporates some video and photographic exhibits, as well as quite a bit of historical writing on the region and its distinct communities (in its Greater Sudbury Histories section). In addition to the website, the museums provide a number of online resources, including: The INCO Triangle Digital Archives: A digital version of the INCO Triangle, a monthly publication produced by the International Nickel Company for its employees between the years of 1936 and 1998. Copper Cliff at War: An online exhibition about the former town of Copper Cliff from its beginnings until the end of World War II. This online exhibition was produced by the Greater Sudbury Heritage Museums through the Community Memories Program for the Virtual Museum of Canada. The Greater Sudbury Historical Database: This database was produced in partnership with the Greater Sudbury Public Library. While somewhat difficult to search, this database contains thousands of photographs and references to the Main Library's large microfilm and historical vertical file collection. It is best searched with the simple keywords and multiple searches under each of the "Title", "Subject" and "Keyword" search options. Greater Sudbury Memories: This project was designed by the Greater Sudbury Public Library as a means of assembling, preserving and sharing Greater Sudbury's oral histories. This website shows a map of the Greater Sudbury area populated with audio and video interviews that reflect times past, allowing users to interact with real stories of life in Greater Sudbury. The Greater Sudbury Heritage Museums have provided assistance towards as of yet unpublished video interviews for this project. Affiliations The museums are affiliated with the Canadian Museums Association, the Ontario Museum Association, the Canadian Heritage Information Network and the Virtual Museum of Canada.
