Today’s guest is another trailblazer with a mile-long impressive bio. I am delighted to welcome Leslie Weir to the show. She is the Librarian and Archivist of Canada - the first woman to be appointed to the position since the National Library of Canada and the National Archives of Canada merged to form Library and Archives Canada (LAC) in 2004.
Her career to date reflects numerous accomplishments in innovation, including the new Preservation Storage Facility - a state-of-the-art building that is the first net-zero carbon archival preservation facility in the Americas and the largest automated archival facility in the world. We want to hear about that huge undertaking and so much more.
