Archivist
Prince Edward Islander
Sleeping has become my hobby.
With my dear friend Adam, a Senior Archivist at my alma mater, the Archives of Ontario. Every now and again I catch myself being nostalgic for these days when I wasn't a lone ranger archivist. #archives #archivist

We had a visit from graduate students from Tsukuba University this week at the archives. They were such a great group of students. It brought me back to my years in Japan.

My daily commute now.
Not complaining.
Just observing.
And documenting.

We are still not sure how this medieval deed ended up in our university archives (that is only 55 years old). Oh provenance, where are thou?

This photo is blurry, and has a green tint, but it is one of my favourite photos of me and my dad. A month ago today he passed. I miss him every day.

From my Acadia days - as Frank Ledwell said, "the north shore of home."

Woke up to see this outside my accommodations in Tatamagouche. The beauty.

I finally got to Deanne Fitzpatrick's Rug Hooking Studio in Amherst. It left me so inspired. #createbeautyeveryday #rughooking #hookedrugs #fibrearts #fibrestudio

This is what working on a report from my bed on a Friday afternoon looks like. The only thing missing is my cat lying on top of all the paper - that happened an hour ago. #library #archives #reports #librarylife

Visited my alma mater last week to be part of an external review panel for the university's library. Acadia University, you are full of nothing but wonderful memories for me. #acadiauniversity #annapolisvalley #novascotia
