As you've no doubt noticed the look of the AMM Messenger has changed. We recently had to change our email provider and we are still working out the kinks.
Your comments and suggestions regarding the layout, colours, legibility, etc., would be greatly appreciated.

Share Your 150
Manitoba is celebrating 150 years in confederation in 2020 and we think it's worth talking about.
If you’re marking this auspicious occasion with a special event, exhibit or program we’d like to hear about it. We’ll promote it via
Facebook, Twitter, in our e-newsletter and on our
website.
We’d even like to hear about how the event went and receive pictures of the activities.

The year 2020 marks 150 years of Manitoba as a province and 350 years since the founding of the Hudson’s Bay Company. With 2020 in mind, the Archives of Manitoba has been reflecting on the histories that have been preserved in the Archives for current and future generations. We invite you to do the same. The Archives of Manitoba is launching an initiative that will run throughout 2020 -
Your Archives: The Histories We Share.
