☃️Who doesn’t want to build a snowman?! But could this photograph taken by Mary Dillwyn c. 1853 be the oldest photo of a #snowman?

I feel like this holiday season, it's important to remind people of the true meaning of christmas: ghosts terrorizing rich people in the middle of the night until they agree to pay their employees more

In the 1960s, holiday cards from politicians became less formal with the introduction of photographs featuring their families, pets and winter landscapes. It was a way for politicians to appear more approachable and human.

This morning, we marked the official opening of our Preservation Storage Facility in @ville_gatineau. This state-of-the-art facility is an environmental🍃 marvel, providing a significant increase in safe, long-term storage space for our collection. 📦📚 https://t.co/RzYG8xJYS2

I'm so proud of my colleagues in the @LibraryArchives conservation department. Thanks to their generosity we were able to put together 5 care kits for youth facing homelessness for the @UnitedWayEO!

It's been over a decade, so I can't remember who was feeling this salty about museum work, but I can't say I haven't felt this way.

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

As you shop and prepare your #Thanksgiving meals, we'd like you to know a little more about the work behind the ingredients and the people doing that work to put food on our tables.

Here's a thread for everyone who wants to thank a farm worker this week.

@conservataur Oh! I love that idea. I hate having to fiddle with the remay.
