Hosted by the University of Ottawa Library, Library and Archives Canada, and the Canadian Institute for Women in Engineering and Sciences (CIWES-ICFIS), this bilingual hybrid learning event will showcase the activities of the three partners and discuss the importance of archives in ensuring the accomplishments of women in Canadian STEM are known to future generations.
