Class PS8000, A Classification for Canadian Literature - Fifth Edition
Preface to the fifth edition
LAC’s Indigenous Heritage Action Plan states that we will adapt the way we describe LAC’s collection items related to First Nations, Inuit and the Métis Nation to enhance access and ensure a culturally appropriate and respectful approach.
Because the language describing Indigenous materials is often not reflective of the terminology preferred by First Nation, Inuit and Métis Nation communities in Canada, in 2019, LAC started a review of subject headings and classification. The direct contribution of First Nations, Inuit and the Métis Nation is an essential part of our efforts to update the vocabulary.
The fifth edition of Class PS8000, a classification for Canadian literature, was revised in 2022-2023 to update the vocabulary describing Indigenous Peoples.
