Leslie Weir - Librarian and Archivist of Canada

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.
