What is an archive? How do papers and books wind up in one? And how is technology changing the way we collect and use archival materials? David Sharron, Head of Archives and Special Collections here at Brock University is on hand with the answers!
In this episode, David shares the joy of archival research and some of the collection's highlights, including the Terry O'Malley collection (featuring branding for the famous 1972 hockey Summit Series!) and the papers of one of Canada's early female pilots, Dorothy Rungeling, alongside treasures from the middle ages. David and his team also work closely with our students and faculty on research ranging from medieval herbals to Niagara sporting history. He'll also share with us his own archival journey--including time working at NASA-- as well as some great tips for first-time archive visitors.
Brock Archives and Special Collections is part of the Brock University Library and is located on the tenth floor of Schmon Tower. Students and community members are invited to use the archives for research. See the archive website for more information.
