AAO IDC Midwinter Institutional Members’ Symposium 2022

The AAO’s Institutional Development Committee presents

AAO IDC Members’ Symposium 2022

Dear AAO membership,

Please join us on Wednesday, March 30, 2022 (9:30am-12:00pm) for the AAO’s Spring Institutional Members’ Symposium, organized by the Institutional Development Committee (IDC).

We are pleased to be joined by Dr. Cheryl Thompson and Dr. Karen Cyrus who will be discussing their project “Mapping Ontario’s Black Archive.” This will be a great opportunity to learn about this important work and to better understand how archives can support the building of an inventory of records related to Black history. Members may wish to read a recent TVO interview with Dr. Thompson to learn more: https://www.tvo.org/article/how-to-use-archives-to-find-hidden-black-histories.

Following their presentation, we will host a discussion forum on providing access to our patrons: how have services changed? What innovations have we had? How are we continuing to provide access to our collections?

We will conclude with a members’ roundtable to discuss any topics or concerns that our institutional members may have.

The midwinter symposium will be held exclusively online via Zoom.

Please follow the links below to register for the symposium.

Yours,

Institutional Development Committee (IDC)

Archives Association of Ontario (AAO)
