Editor's Welcome
Welcome to the summer edition of The Original Order of Things. We hope you are all enjoying the warm weather and some time off. As we wind down from a busy conference season, we draw your attention to an important advocacy item for the AAO - the current situation in Peel Region.

The AAO will share posts on its official social media accounts highlighting participating institutions and their holdings.
This is an opportunity for our social media followers to discover your institution and Archeion.
Here are the conditions for participation:
- Must have an active AAO Institutional membership (2023-2024).
- Must have content in Archeion (digital objects preferred, but not required).
- Must complete this brief survey about your institution’s presence on Archeion.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at archeion@aao-archivists.ca. You can also follow the AAO on social media to see these posts and learn more about our institutional members.
