Current Research

As the Special Collection and Catalogue Librarian, I am responsible for maintaining and organizing the Yukon College Library's resources on Northern-related material.Materials with a Northern focus include specific industries like forestry, mining, or fisheries, or research on the flora and fauna of the North, or material on Northern and First Nations societies, often with a strong emphasis on history. Materials I deal with may be published or unpublished paper sources, video and audio recordings, maps, electronic sources, etc. As part of the Library team, I provide information through the kind of material that can be stored in a library and used by students and researchers. The main focus of the Northern material is on the Yukon but always within the context of the Circumpolar North
