In case you missed it on twitter or the archives listserv, Algoma University's Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre and Arthur A. Wishart Library recently won the 2013 Archives Association of Ontario Institutional Award. The The AAO Institutional Award recognizes an "Archival
Institution that has contributed significantly to the advancement of the
archival field or community, or has demonstrated a significant level of
innovation and imagination in the establishment of outstanding or model
programmes or services."
Other universities that have been awarded the AAO Institutional Award
include Queen’s University Archives (2012), the Ryerson University
Gallery and Research Centre (School of Image Arts) and the Library and
Archives Special Collections Program (2011), Clara Thomas Archives and
Special Collections at York University Archives (2008), and the Trent
University Archives (2003).

[Full disclosure: I'm very fortunate to have been part of this project since 2010, so this is a bit of shameless promotion.]
