AN OPEN COMMONS DOCUMENTING CANADIAN DESIGN AND MATERIAL CULTURE

—for twenty years, the Canadian Design Resource has been compiling the most extensive public archive of its kind. Following a lengthy No Media-led process of community consulation and ideation, CDR is reborn as Nor—a decentralized co-operative, not-for-profit, dedicated to documenting, preserving, and interrogating the role of design in the many competing ideas of Canadian culture and heritage.

Coming soon, Nor’s archive of over 13,000 entries, powered by an open API belonging to the communities it serves.
