This Halloween, why not scare your local archivist by dressing up as:
- A rusty staple
- A box labelled 'misc'
- A pen in a searchroom
- Someone trying to order a 240 box collection
- A postal deposit of floppy discs
- Someone asking why you can't just 'digitise everything'
A Field Guide to Trees of Ontario is now available to purchase!
