An archivist in Alberta has compiled a list of the top 20 Canadian archives on Facebook, based on the number of followers, and you may be surprised at the ranking of the archives in Canada’s largest province.
Andrew Chernevych of the Galt Museum and Archives in Lethbridge writes that he was surprised to see “some small archives punching well above their weight and some major institutions have no Facebook presence!”
I think two of the reasons the top 20 have a lot of followers are because they post useful, engaging information and they do so on a regular basis.
Check out the top 20 list in Canadian Archives with Largest Following on Facebook. (If I posted the list here, that wouldn’t be fair to Mr. Chernevych, would it?)
Thanks Gail, for passing on this interesting list. Reminds me to keep checking for resources ‘everywhere’!!
