A nice article - en franΓ§ais - about the critical and important @internetarchiveca.bsky.social. A few words from me too on how important web archiving is for us all.

What's the rationale for this? Cost savings via amalgamation of departments and reduction of staff comes to mind.... And how will it change the individual work lives/work loads of faculty?

His scholarship on Indigenous history, I think it is fair to say, was extremely influential for many of us - and his survey textbooks provided an accessible entry point. www.saskatoonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/j...

With contributions from Chic Scott to Liza Piper to Bruce Cockburn (!) to β¦dozens & dozens more, this is a fantastic, monumental (mountainous?) work. Cheers to Eric & all.
And great to have it in @nichecanada.bsky.social / @ucalgarypress.bsky.social Canadian History & Environment series.
Really thrilled to announce that our new book on the history of the #MohawkInstitute is now available in #OpenAccess format. You can pay for the physical book, but you can also read a digital copy for free. This was a very important choice for us: press.ucalgary.ca/books/978177... #cdnhist #cdnpoli
