Hi all, Thought I'd send notice of a "breaking" story being picked up by an increasing number of media outlets as the day progresses: http://www.guelphmercury.com/news/local/article/908773--university-of-guelph-becomes-keeper-of-sleeman-family-artifacts We're also launching a website to provide some highlights of the collection. That website is available at http://www.lib.uoguelph.ca/resources/archival_&_special_collections/the_collections/digital_collections/sleeman/. The collection unveiling and website launch is timed to coincide with Ontario's Archives Awareness Week, held the first full week of April. This year, however, there seems to be some confusion just when this is. ACA has it listed as April 8-14, and some archives are holding events that week while others--ourselves included--are holding them a week earlier given that April 1 is a Monday. Maybe the confusion is all just a premature April Fool's joke... The unveiling of our collection is not!
