Yay Ontario!

Yay Ontario!

Hey Lisa, I think you should keep the "Operational Functions" section about the Archives of Ontario. You could discuss the services the archives offers, as well as their educational programs (there's some info on their website about this) such as their public tours or their onside workshops or travelling workshops. Since there are A LOT of archives in Ontario, I think you could focus mostly on the Provincial Archives, while acknowledging the rest of the archival system, but not having to go into too much detail about it. It does say that your list of Archives in Ontario needs some revision, but maybe you want to consider breaking it into categories of professional organizations, municipal archives, archives resources, community archives, etc. Hope that makes sense!

Thanks Alexandra! To clarify, professional organizations would encompass the Archives Association of Ontario? I am unaware of any other associations pertaining to only Ontario, however, I could send a quick email to my ACA advisor who may know of more. In terms of the archives resources category, I am not sure if there are resources uniquely available in Ontario but I will have a look.

Oh, good point. Sorry, my bad. Professional associations was not the right term. It seemed to me that some of the entities listed are not "archives" per se, but were definitely related to the archival field and so "professional association" came to mind... Hope this makes more sense :)

Thanks, lady!

I've tried to incorporate your comments and you can see it here at http://wiki.ubc.ca/Sandbox:Archives_of_Ontario_draft

I made a new sandbox page to play around with the format of my wiki before I decided to delete everything! I don't want to lose it again!
