That’s a wrap! 2024 in perspective
Thanks to the support of our community and clients, 2024 was a terrific year, one that strengthened ODW’s position as a trusted organization and service provider. We expanded our Board and governance structure. We sidestepped the potential devastation of a cyber attack and hardened our systems against future threats. We’re engaging new staff and technology, making our foundations stronger than ever, and we are look forward to a promising 2025.
A good year for family history
Researchers rejoice! This year, VITA collections from organizations around North America have shown significant growth in genealogical records, article and other indexes in standalone collections and linked to local newspapers. The excitement around new items invites users to comment and contribute their own material to existing collections, sharing community stories and weaving new connections. We also saw the addition of new exhibits, books, diaries, and church records, postcards and photos, as well as audio and video recordings.

When we talk about building bridges, not only are we talking about physical connections, we’re also talking about connecting individuals with issues, identities, and ideas. When we build bridges, we build hope. ~Ontario Library Association
