Training starts November 27 in Gatineau. “Archives and You!
Everything you wanted to know about archives… but were afraid to
ask” is Canada’s only national conference for users of archives, a
compulsory archival boot camp—without the push-ups—for
genealogists, researchers, teachers, librarians, historians,
students, curators, volunteers, and anyone with interest in
Canada’s documentary heritage.
From first-rate plenary sessions, to interactive roundtables and
workshops, exhibits and tours of local archives, “Archives and
You!” is designed to sharpen archival users’ tool-set and
strengthen their relationship with the archival community. Submit
to history: enlist the masses!
Parking
is available at the Plaza de la Chaudière at a rate of
$13.55/day. To access a map to the hotel, click
