Greetings to Everyone.

As we all struggle to deal with the new reality and concern for our families and friends, we as archivists are still the record keepers, the storytellers who will document this part of our history for future generations, as we also continue to provide access to essential information to keep the wheels turning. Doing so will require new ways of doing business, possibly for some time, but archivists, record managers, librarians, curators are capable of the challenge.  Forced to think outside the box as we are may result in new opportunities, collaborations and innovative ideas that will serve us well in the future.  

As part of the archival community I wanted to assure you that as AAO Advisor I am still here and working to offer information and guidance to any who need support.  So do not hesitate to reach out to me at my contact information below if I can be of help. 

Stay safe and be positive in these challenging times.
