On behalf of the AAO Board of Directors I am pleased to share the news that Connor White will join the AAO as part-time Archeion Coordinator after January 12, 2026.

Connor White is a digital archivist at the Centre de recherche sur les francophonies canadiennes (CRCCF) at the University of Ottawa. He holds a Master of Arts in History and a Master of Information in Archives and Records Management from the University of Toronto. His research focuses on marginalized and dispossessed communities, examining how their histories are preserved, interpreted, and integrated into contemporary academic discourse. He also specializes in inclusive, user-centred database design for archives and other records management systems.

As previously announced in the AAO’s 2024-2025 Annual Report, Kelli is cycling off as Archeion Coordinator. She will continue being involved with Archeion and the AAO as a volunteer with the AAO’s Digital Access and Preservation Committee.

Connor and Kelli are working together to make this change seamless for all Archeion institutions and AAO members. If you need any Archeion support, as always, please contact archeion@aao-archivists.ca.

Best,

Shelley Respondek

President, 2024-2026
