Municipal Archives Interest Group (MAIG)

Formed in 1994, the Municipal Archives Interest Group (MAIG) represents municipal archivists, institutions and individuals interested in the preservation and use of municipal and other community based records in Ontario. Members of the AAO who work for municipal archives automatically gain access to this interest group, allowing for resource sharing, roundtable discussions and access to the MAIGazine, a yearly publication that provides members with provincial updates. Throughout the year MAIG hosts two meetings, an annual Open House at a members’ archive, and an Annual General Meeting, which takes place at the AAO’s yearly conference.

Executive:

Chair: Gillian Shaw (Term: 2018-2021)

Vice-Chair: Megan Lockhart (Term: 2018-2021)

Secretary/Treasurer: Gina Dewaele (Term: 2020-2023)

We are always happy to hear from our colleagues, so if you have any news, suggestions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact us!

Municipal / Government Archive Survey Results: Impacts to Ontario Archives due to COVID-19

In response to an overwhelming request for comparative information during the COVID-19 pandemic, the MAIG Executive and the Institutional Development Committee, created an industry survey to determine impacts to Ontario Archives. Municipal and Government Archive results from this survey will be updated on this web page daily (beginning May 5th, 2020). Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Archives Advisor at: archivesadvisor@aao-archivists.ca.
