Hello AAO,
The Summer 2024 issue of Off the Record is now available. It's a perfect accompaniment to the fine weather that has arrived!
The issue is available to AAO members here.
This issue features an update from president Sarah McDougall, an Archeion update from coordinator Kelli Babcock, and bios to introduce you to the new editors. We want you to know us, where we come from, and what we hope to pursue in our time running OTR! Following, we have a wonderful new Feature on a community memory work titled Memory Workers at Work. This issue, we hear from the Black Memory Collective.
Our membership spotlight is with recent iSchool grad Lenora Huynh. This issue rounds out with the perspective of the user: Naomi E. Norquay tells her account of using the Grey County Archives and the impact of budget cuts. Finally, Alex Hoare from the Archives of Ontario provides some reflections on the McMichael Canadian Art Collection exhibit “People of the Watershed,” which features AO archival records.
Happy reading!
Isobel and Simon
