Every institution generates a host of documents – reports, newsletters, minutes, not to mention photographs, AV materials, architectural plans, posters, etc. – that together form its history. Libraries can take a proactive role in ensuring that this important material is collected, preserved and organized so that it is readily available for administrative and research needs in the future. Anne will share her experience, give some tips and provide examples of interesting material she has gathered and surprising projects resulting from its use. She will also include some anecdotes from her passion of collecting popular medicine ephemera.

Everyone wants a peaceful and pain free death. However, as anyone who has experienced the end of life with a close friend or relative knows, this doesn't always happen. Dr. Alan Taniguchi will describe his work with end-of-life planning and palliative care, particularly his role in the implementation "Allowing Natural Death" initiative in Hamilton hospitals and community care. This thought-provoking talk will help participants to identify the issues and to start planning for this important phase of all of our lives.
