It's that time of year again, the Municipal Archives Interest Group (MAIG) is seeking submissions for our annual publication, the MAIGazine. For our 21st issue, we are leaving this year’s submissions open ended. Feel free to submit an article, an institutional update, or a photo for our *NEW* photo section!
Here are some suggestions for each:
- Articles: Of any length, with or without photos. Articles can be about an interesting donation, a large project you or your institution accomplished, a new website or database migration, interesting interactions or finds with researchers, designing a new exhibit or preparing for a County/Regional celebration…etc.
- News Corner: Here we highlight exciting updates, accomplishments or milestones such as grants, new acquisitions, special projects, introducing a new staff member, retirements, reaching a career milestone, or simply celebrating a colleague for their work.
- *NEW* Photo Section: Have an interesting photo in our collection that you just don’t know how to share? Share it here with or without a caption! Puzzle us, delight us, or scare us with the photos from your vault!
- Cover Photo Submissions: Last but not least, we are seeking photograph submissions to be used on the cover page. We are simply looking to feature images from our community's collections!
If you are interested in contributing to the 2025 edition of the MAIGazine, please send your submissions as a MS word document to Jennifer Georgiou (jgeorgiou@regionofwaterloo.ca) by Friday August 1st. If you are including photos with your submission, please send them as JPG scanned at least 300dpi. Feel free to contact Jennifer with any questions about submitting your article.
