On behalf of my colleagues at the Clara Thomas Archives and Special
Collections of York University Libraries, I am pleased to announce the
appointment of Anna St.Onge as Archivist, Digital Projects and Outreach
effective Monday, February 16, 2009.
Anna holds a B.A. in History and Celtic Studies from the University of
Toronto (including a year at the National University of Ireland
Maynooth), and a Master of Information Studies degree from the
University of Toronto with a specialization in Archival Studies and Book
History & Print Culture. Anna has worked as a Librarian Assistant at
Knox College, U of T, and as a contract archivist with the Ontario
Jewish Archives, the Kelly Library of St. Michael's College, U of T, and
the Clara Thomas Archives. From July 2007 to the Fall of 2008, Anna
served as Interim Head of Special Collections and Interim Curator of the
Henri Nouwen Archives & Research Collections at the Kelly Library, where
she was involved in several digital initiatives. Anna is a member of
the Archives Association of Ontario's standing committee on ARCHEION
(the web-based repository of the province's archival descriptions and
virtual exhibits), and has published on the archival legacy of Henry Nouwen.
The new position held by Anna is responsible for bringing electronic
facsimiles of archival documents to the Libraries' website with
appropriate contextual information, developing policies and procedures
for ensuring the preservation and accessibility of records with enduring
value that were created using digital technology, and implementing a
communications strategy that will make York's archival program and its
holdings better known to faculty, students, and an international
community of researchers. Please join me in welcoming Anna to York
University Libraries as she assumes her new duties as Archivist, Digital
Projects and Outreach.
