Archer Library Award Winner 2025

We are pleased to announce that Addisen Nelson is the winner of the Dr. John Archer Library Award for 2025. The Library Award celebrates undergraduate scholarship by challenging a student to explain in a compelling reflective essay how they personally engaged with staff, resources and services at the Archer Library & Archives to complete a major assignment in any course taken completed within the last year. Addisen wrote about researching her project (titled Pauline Viardot-Garcia (1821-1910) Solitude) for Dr. Barbara Reul’s MUHI 202 – Music History Survey-Preclassical to Contemporary course from the Fall 2024 semester.

A copy of Addisen’s reflective essay and research assignment have been added to oURspace: https://ourspace.uregina.ca/handle/10294/5336.

A private photo-op ceremony happened on April 17. Pictured here is Addisen with the trophy, Dean of University Libraries & Archives Brett Waytuck presenting the plaque, and Addisen with Barbara Ruel.
