Vancouver Sun: A Simon Fraser University-designed website that portrays the Fraser Valley as it was hundreds of years ago has emerged ahead of 20,000 other e-projects from around the globe to win the World Summit Award, the United Nations-based contest for e-content and creativity.
A Journey into Time Immemorial, which is based on First Nations traditional knowledge and oral history, was selected from 500 finalists by a team of international e-content experts in New Delhi.
The site, which has already gathered numerous national and international awards, was created by SFU's Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology and new media specialists from the Learning and Instructional Development Centre (LIDC), in concert with the Xa:ytem Centre in Mission.
