Title: What we have lost: What we stand to lose : The future of archives and archivists in Canada

Authors: Smart, John

Issue Date: 2020-01-14

Abstract: Readers of the Bulletin will recall that in March 2012 the federal government announced cancellation of the $1.7 million National Archival Development Program (NADP) and cuts in staff and services at Library and Archives Canada. These cuts were widely criticized in the heritage and historical research communities as they seemed to threaten the archival system in Canada built up since the 1970s. On January 16, 2013 the Archives Association of Ontario East/Est Chapter sponsored a panel in Ottawa under the title “What We Have Lost: What We Stand to Lose: The Future of Archives and Archivists in Canada.”

Abstract: From April 17 to 20th, 2013, the National Council on Public History (NCPH) will return to Canada to hold its annual meeting with its joint host, the newly established International Federation for Public History. The NCPH meeting model is unlike most historical conferences in Canada, and in addition to the typical panel sessions, it includes hands-on skill-based workshops; working groups which begin discussions before the conference and often produce a best practices or policy paper; a THAT Camp (The Humanities and Technology Camp), a digital ‘unconference’ workshop; a free public plenary; formal networking opportunities for graduate students and new professionals; two minute Lightning Talks which showcase digital projects; a poster session; Dine Arounds which pair facilitated discussion with dinner; and tours of the city and Ottawa museums. Together, the joint conference offers four packed days with over sixty sessions and over twenty tours, workshops, and special events.

Title: Elites, Social networks, and the historical profession

Authors: Sholdice, Mark

Abstract: My research examines the role played by small groups of people working towards common ends. In other words, I am fascinated by elites. Having spent almost ten years of my life in several universities, I am also intrigued by the role of elites in academia.
