Brushing the dust off and sifting through some old boxes during a bit of spring cleaning led one staff member to discover pieces of departmental history tucked away in her new office.
Monique Ritz took over the role of undergraduate program and student support secretary last October. While cleaning out her new office, she came across boxes filled with books, papers, a CBC Radio-Canada tape and other archival materials connected to the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (FAHSS).

Preserving Local History
In the basement of Leddy Library, behind an unassuming door, relics of the past reside — rows upon rows of documents with ink faded by time, rare and first-edition books, and preserved memories of Southwestern Ontario.
The space is home to Archives and Special Collections, which holds community records, historic documents, photographs, and other items preserved and cataloged by dedicated archivists.
