AAO East/Est

AAO East/Est is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization that has supported the Eastern Ontario archival community for over 30 years. The Eastern Ontario Chapter of the Archives Association of Ontario originated as the Eastern Ontario Archivists Association (EOAA) in 1978. The association provided programs and workshops for archivists and attempted to promote archives to the public through various events. In 1989, the EOAA became a chapter of the AAO's predecessor, the Ontario Association of Archivists.

Operating under a newly approved Chapter Constitution (2013), AAO East/Est continues to foster a strong archival community in eastern Ontario and to support its members and connect them to services and programs offered through its parent institution, the AAO. Each year, AAO East/Est organizes a number of events where ideas are exchanged, new and old friends connect, and the Eastern Ontario archival community is strengthened.

    Last Night the Annual General Meeting of the Eastern Ontario Chapter of the AAO was held in Ottawa at the Main Branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

    Following a stimulating presentation by Jennifer Wilhelm on the topic of Library and Archive Canada's project to identify non-archival holdings and dispose of the same, the AGM was held.

    The main elements of the meeting dealt with the reports of the out-going president, vice-president and the Treasurer's report, all of which revealed that the Eastern Chapter has had a successful past year, and is financially solvent. Immediately following these reports an election was held for the Board of the Eastern Chapter.

    As a result of this election, a new broom has swept the old regime out. The uncomfortable cronyism that saw the Board dominated by staff from just two institutions (Library and Archives Canada and the City of Ottawa Archives) has ended as three of the former Board did not stand for re-election. In the finest tradition the new executive thanked the outgoing members (Daniel German and Dara Price of LAC and Serge Barbe of Ottawa City Archives) for their contributions and will now proceed to planning the events for the rest of the year.

    The new executive of the Eastern Ontario Chapter are as follows:

    • President - Margaret Dixon (LAC)
    • Vice-President - Jonathan Lund (Ottawa City Archives)
    • Treasurer - Theresa Sorel (Ottawa City Archives)
    • Secretary - Allison Gregor (Public History Inc)
    • Member at Large - Jennifer Wilhelm (LAC)
    • Member at Large - Rebecca Giesbrecht (LAC)
    Members of the Eastern Ontario Chapter are invited to contact the new Executive with any of their concerns.

    With thanks to for all the support,
    Daniel German
