This Tuesday was Nicole’s last day at the OGSR Library! Nicole Schoenberger was our archivist from July 2018. She was working hard on the DHCP Brittain project to digitize and catalogue the historical collections relating to Ontario oil/gas industry history. Now she’s moving forward to work in the library at Guelph University. Good luck with your new position! Come to visit us often and the OGSRL is always at your back!

As James A. Sanson did in 1936, the Library wishes you the ‘compliments of the season’. Keep an eye out for our DHCP Brittain portal launching early in the new year.
