• Pauline Johnson and Her Archive: A Conversation with Dr. Rick Monture

  • When
    18 Apr 2024
  •  
    12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
  • Location
    via Zoom

  You are cordially invited to a free online lecture (18 April 2024 at 12 p.m. EST): “Pauline Johnson and Her Archive: A Conversation with Dr. Rick Monture.” 

   

  Emily Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake) (1861-1913) was born on the Six Nations reserve near Brantford, Ontario. Of Kanyen’kehà:ka (Mohawk) and European descent, she spent her early years in the community, where her father, George Johnson, held a position of prominence as a Mohawk Wolf Clan Chief and a translator for the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council. Pauline Johnson would go on to become a successful poet and performer, touring across North America and the UK and publishing six volumes during her lifetime. She was a strong advocate for the rights of Indigenous peoples and women, writing many newspaper articles on these topics; she has also drawn criticism for her espousal of assimilationist sentiments. She is, as Dr. Rick Monture writes, “an enigmatic figure” whose complex legacy still draws interest more than a century after her death. Join Dr. Rick Monture for an exploration of Pauline Johnson, her legacy, and her archive at McMaster University Library. 

   

  Dr. Rick Monture is a member of the Mohawk nation, Turtle clan, from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. He is Associate Professor in the Departments of Indigenous Studies and English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University and the author of Teionkwakhashion Tsi Niionkwariho:ten (“We Share Our Matters”): Two Centuries of Writing and Resistance at Six Nations of the Grand River (UMP 2014). 

   

  This lecture is hosted by McMaster University Library’s Archives Alive program in partnership with McMaster University Alumni.

• Social Media #Hashtag party - #ArchivesVolunteers

  • When
    25 Apr 2024

  You’re invited to the ACA Hashtag Party! On the last Thursday of every month, the ACA Social Media Team organizes a hashtag party, which takes place virtually on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). There is a different theme for each month, which we announce on social media and Arcan-l in advance. On the day of the party, you can share materials in your collections related to that theme, tag us and use the hashtag, and we’ll re-share your post. The goal of the parties is to engage more with institutions across Canada, see what kinds of materials other institutions have, and promote weird, fun, and interesting items from your own collections.

  The ACA Hashtag Party will take a pause in December to give our volunteers a break, but we’re excited to host you again in the new year! The first few dates and themes for 2024 ACA Hashtag Parties will be as follows:

  • January 25, 2024: ArchivesScience
  • February 29, 2024: ArchivesBlackHistory
  • March 28, 2024: ArchivesFeast
  • April 25, 2024: ArchivesVolunteers
    

  Keep an eye on future issues of Scope and Content and on all our social media accounts to learn more about what we’re interested in for each of these themes! 

  For any questions, or if you have initiatives that you would like the ACA Hashtag Party to support, please email us at communications@archivists.ca.

  Open Refine Workshop

  Digitization can provide far greater access to archival documents, but their discoverability via full text searches may be hampered by error-laden optical character recognition (OCR). Correcting them manually is unrealistically time-consuming but there are tools that can help! In this workshop, we will use OpenRefine – a spreadsheet-like software often used for creating or editing metadata – to accelerate the finding and correction of spelling errors introduced through the OCR process.

  Bio

  Devon Mordell has a Master of Archival Studies from the University of British Columbia and currently works as an educational developer at McMaster University after several years in digital archiving roles. She teaches workshops on digital scholarship topics such as online exhibit creation and computational text analysis, and has presented internationally on archives as data.
