“I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was
always June.” – L.M. Montgomery
Well said, Ms. Montgomery! What a month of celebrations and
commemorations we have ahead of us! National Indigenous History month, Pride
Season, Italian Heritage Month, Filipino Heritage Month, and Portuguese Heritage
Month, not to mention National Indigenous Peoples Day (June 21),
Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (June 24), and Canadian Multiculturalism Day (June 27).
In a world so filled with uncertainty and fear, a month such as this – that is
absolutely overflowing with reasons and opportunities to celebrate humanity no
matter what your background or orientation – is indeed welcome!

Retirement Announcements & Warm Wishes
As many of you may already know, May 2023 saw the retirement of
both Fred
Farrell, Director-Provincial Archivist,
Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, and Dr. Luciana Duranti of the UBC
iSchool. I know I’m not alone in hoping these two amazing humans and
indefatigable colleagues stay connected with the archival community in whatever
ways make sense for them as their new lives take shape.
To Fred and Luciana, on behalf of the Board of Directors:
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
(Traditional Gaelic blessing) |

ACA Strategic Framework 2023-2026
On Wednesday, May 31, the Strategic Planning Working Group (SPWG) presented the ACA Strategic Framework 2023-2026 at the members’ input session. The new strategic framework replaces Moving Forward Together: ACA Strategic Plan 2018-2021.
The new ACA Strategic Framework identifies three strategic priorities for the ACA over the next three years, which are to Advocate, Support Learning, and Engage Members.
The new framework is simpler than the previous strategic plan, defining three priorities and their relationship to the ACA without being prescriptive in how they are pursued. Instead, it is up to the Board, committees, working groups, SISes, and student chapters to define how their activities serve one or more of these priorities and to regularly report on those activities to members. With a simpler, broader set of priorities, the ACA will be better able to adapt to social change and the shifting needs of members as they arise.
Both the ACA Strategic Framework 2023-2026 document and the Strategic Framework Presentation will be available on the ACA website as well in the coming days. Thank you to the members of the Strategic Planning Working Group (Angela Fornelli & Chris Trainor (co-chairs), Allie Querengesser, Jesse Carson, Jill Teasley) for all of your hard work developing the ACA Strategic Framework 2023-2026 and to all of the volunteers and members of the ACA who provided such valuable feedback. |

Call for Volunteers – ACA Professional Development Committee
The Professional Development Committee is looking for new committee members to guide and support the work undertaken to support community members with professional development initiatives, including workshops throughout the year and pre-conference workshops for ACA 2024, which will be online and anchored in Alberta.
Acknowledging the imperative for the committee to represent the needs and interests of the larger ACA membership, we encourage applications from archival and record keeping professionals who are:
- Indigenous, Black, or People of Colour, or from other equity-deserving groups;
-
and/or students;
-
and/or members who are new to ACA committees.
Time commitment and activities: The committee meets each month for one hour. This meeting time is set in advance with committee consensus. Committee members have the opportunity to shepherd workshops throughout the year based on their availability. This work may take 1.5 to 3.0 hours depending on the workshop length. Committee members are also assigned to be liaisons to the Annual Conference Program Team and the Conference Planning Committee. Committee members may also meet twice annually, once in the spring and once in the fall, as part of the ACA’s Planning and Priorities Process. Some committee members participate in the website renewal working group as well.
For more information about Professional Development Committee activities, contact Adria Seccareccia, Chair at professional.development@archivists.ca,and you can use the the volunteer form link to submit your expression of interest.
Volunteering with this committee is a great way to not only get better connected with existing colleagues in the ACA but also to develop new professional connections.

ACA Hashtag Party
You’re invited to the ACA Hashtag Party! On the last Thursday of every month, the ACA organizes a hashtag party, which takes place virtually on Facebook, Instagram, and 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.
Last month’s party took place on Thursday,
May 25, and the theme was #ArchivesPostcards! We truly enjoyed seeing these
treasures from your collections. Thank you to everyone who participated!
The next party will take place on Thursday,
June 29, and the theme will be #ArchivesTransportation! Since this party
will be happening during our annual conference, we’re thinking about planes,
trains, and automobiles – and all the modes of transport you’ll be using to
wing your way towards us in Charlottetown. Or share the most fun example of
transportation in your collections. On the day, don’t forget to tag us
@archivistsdotca on Twitter, @aca_canada on Instagram, and @AssociationofCanadianArchivists on Facebook so we can see what you’ve got!
Here are the themes and dates for the next couple
of parties:
- July 27, 2023:
#ArchivesBeaches
- August 31, 2023:
#ArchivesLabour
For more information about each of the
themes, keep an eye on our social media and Scope & Content in the
weeks leading up to the party. For any questions, email us at communications@archivists.ca. |

Fifty years ago Prince Edward Island was busy celebrating its 100th anniversary as a Canadian province. Everything from Styrofoam top hats to commemorative whiskey bottles were churned out in honour of the occasion, “The place to be in ‘73” plastered on anything that didn’t move.
The Island’s sesquicentennial may be muted in comparison, but we couldn’t be happier to welcome you to Charlottetown for ACA 2023. Food and water were recurring themes in the Host Committee’s deliberations: We hope you’ll join us for a boat tour of the beautiful Charlottetown Harbour, a walk through the historic town, or a picnic on the shore at Beaconsfield House.
You can always reach the Host Committee through the Whova conference app if you’re in need of local knowledge. We’ll be sending out updates on the formal conference activities along with insider tips on dining, shopping, and activities. |

We look forward to seeing you at ACA 2023 for these keynotes and our many engaging conference sessions! |

The 1931 Census is now
online!
Library and Archives Canada announced just yesterday
that the 1931 Census of Canada is now online. This is an important
moment for genealogy enthusiasts, and we encourage you to share this
information with your users and in your channels. They also encourage you to
begin browsing the contents of the 1931 Census and to share stories of your
community.
Currently, users can browse the digitized images by
district and sub-district. Later this year, LAC will incorporate the fully-indexed
and searchable images into its new one-stop-shop tool for national census
records: Census Search. This step will make
searching easier and more intuitive for all users regardless of their level of
genealogical knowledge.
Visit the Preparing the 1931 Census web page and the 1931 Census blog series regularly to stay up to
date on the status of this project. |
