Good morning

The Toronto Area Archivists' Group (TAAG) is looking for volunteers to fill
our executive team. Joining TAAG is an excellent opportunity to give back
to your local archive community as well as connect and work with other
archivists in the GTA. TAAG is a volunteer-run organization – without our
volunteers, there would be no workshops, no tours, and no get-togethers!
With your help, we can continue to provide learning opportunities, engage
with the archival community, and serve our members.
