Greetings from MAIG!
There are only a couple of in-person spots left for those interested in attending the MAIG Open House on October 14, 2022!
This year, the Open House will be hosted by the Dufferin County Archives. Please join us and our gracious host Laura Camilleri as we explore the archives and its collections,
and the exhibits, galleries, and grounds at the Museum of Dufferin. Attendees will also be provided with the opportunity to sit in on seminars by guest speakers Sahana Puvirajasingam (Museum of Dufferin and City of Toronto Museums & Heritage Services), who
will be providing a video presentation about the “Collecting the Community” project; and a live virtual presentation by Alex Avdichuk and Gabrielle Major both with the City of Toronto Museums. “Collecting the Community” is an initiative by the Museum of Dufferin
to engage with, collect, preserve, and interpret the past, present, and future history of historically marginalized communities in Dufferin County. Alex Avdichuk will be speaking on contemporary collecting policy and the sensitivity around collecting oral
histories, and Gabrielle Major will be discussing collecting sensitive items. Read this year’s edition of the
MAIGazine on the MAIG webpage for biographies on the speakers. Lunch will be provided at the event.
Please RSVP by Friday, September 30th to: Gina Dewaele, MAIG Secretary-Treasurer:
[log in to unmask] or call 519-631-1460 ext. 154. We ask that you please send your questions for Sahana with your RSVP so they can be addressed in her pre-recorded video.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone in October!
