Hi everyone,
It's been awhile since this wiki was updated so here goes...
We are trying to organize a technical skills workshop (ie. the practical knowledge all archivists are expected to know when starting a new job) and need to know what questions you have about a day in the life of an archivist. Some topics are: how to properly assemble an archival box, how to be reading room muscle and do all archives use RAD?
May I stress that YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION WHEN YOU START WORKING!!! So it is in everyone's best interest to come up with ideas and attend the workshop. It won't be until next year so if we come up with about 10 questions by the end of the first semester we should be well on our way to an excellent workshop.
I'll start:
How important are donor/archivist relations in a private/public archives? What interpersonal skills should an archivist have?
Any more ideas? Post your questions and concerns in the comments of this blog. Hope to hear from many of you soon.

upcoming aca chapter events!
Hi everyone,
Yikes, it's almost September! Hope you're all enjoying the last bits of summer and are ready for another year of classes. Welcome to those of you who are new to FIS! We have lots of events planned for this year and hope you'll make it out. Here are a couple of things we have planned for the near-future:
On Wednesday, September 5th at 7:30 pm we'll be meeting up for drinks with the Toronto Area Archivists Group at the Red Room on Spadina just south of College. Come out and meet your classmates and other Toronto archivists and debate the finer points of RAD (or not).
Wednesday, September 26th at 5:45 we'll be meeting with TAAG again for a tour of the Thomas Fisher rare book library and then heading out for drinks afterwards at an as-yet undetermined location.
If you have any questions, email me at meredith[dot]ferguson [at] utoronto[dot]ca.
