Colleagues: Those of you interested in municipal archives and municipal records should be aware that the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) has just released two new publications pertaining to records management: Ontario Municipal Records Management Manual (non-member price $90.00) and the Records Retention Guideline (non-member price, $175.00, comes with diskettes). 15% discount if you order both. These publications are products of the AMCTO's Records Management Taskforce which was struck to deal with, among other things, merging records management systems during restructuring. I have my order in for both of these publications. I'd welcome comments on them posted to the list. They may set the groundwork for the AAO to work in formal partnership with the AMCTO towards developing archival programs. (As a side note, and for those of you who deal with LACAC's, I also see on their order form that there is a new publication entitled "Designating Property Under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act). An order form can be obtained by e-mailing <mailto:[log in to unmask]>. It's a beautiful day here in London by the way. Hope all can say the same.
