Giglimodelia is a collection of documents submitted by individuals from their personal collections. It represents the memory of communities from the homes of those members. Anyone who has historical letters, pictures, ledgers, minutes from community organizations, or other material, can submit digital copies to the Patchwork Nova Scotia Digital Archives, while still keeping the original in their own collection.

Patchwork NS does not want to interfere with the work of Archives, historical associations, and libraries. We strongly encourage individuals and groups to continue to donate their material to such organizations. However, if you do not wish to donate to an archives, historical association or library but do wish to share while still retaining ownership of your material, this is a way to do so.
