Oversight

The Archivist responsibilities include:

  • Maintaining and organizing the Engineering Society's physical archives
  • Documenting major events each year and collecting publications
  • Sharing Skule history and traditions with all students through events and creating displays
  • Researching Skule History and contributing to Skulepedia (Note: Skulepedia is an alumni-owned open-source platform and operates independently of the Archivist and the Engineering Society)
  • Uploading digital archives to Photos.skule.ca & Skule Tube

History

(a work-in-progress)

The Archivist was reportedly featured for the first time in the Skulebook in 1990. Mike Stein, Archivist for that year, writes:

"I don't know why someone decided to give me space in this book as no archivist has ever had any. that last part is unfotunate because I had to write this myself with no aid at all from previous Skulebooks. But seriously, my duties included taking Engineering Society publications to the Engineering Archives, retrieving any historical artifacts, and writing Toike articles. I also managed to read a few old Toikes along the way."

In 2020, photos.skule.ca was transferred to the new Skule ™ Photography Project Directorship's portfolio.

Exhibits

The Archivist and Skule Archives often assist the Engineering & Computer Science Library in creating exhibits on Skule history. All credits go to the Engineering & Computer Science Library.
