----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives Honours and Papers Awards The Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives (ACMLA) Awards Committee (Alberta Auringer Wood, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's (Chair); Pierre L pine, Bibliotheque national de Quebec, Montreal; and Hugo Stibbe, National Archives of Canada, Ottawa, Ont.) have unanimously selected Lorraine Dubreuil (Rare Map Curator, McGill University, Montreal) as the 1993 recipient of the ACMLA Honours Award. Through her long and productive activities in ACMLA, Lorraine has made an outstanding contribution to the field of map librarianship. Not only has she contributed as an ACMLA officer, Bulletin editor, committee chair, IFLA representative, and member of many committees, but she has also produced very useful bibliographies of maps of importance to the history of Canadian cartography (Early Canadian Topographic Map Series: The Geological Survey of Canada 1841-1949, Sectional Map of Western Canada, 1871-1955: An Early Canadian Topographic Map Series, Standard Topographical Maps of Canada, 1904-1948, and the recently released Canada's Militia and Defence Maps, 1905-1931) and prepared at least one edition of the Directory of Canadian Map Collections. We feel that the time has come to give this recognition to her. The unanimous approval of the Executive of the ACMLA was obtained, as per the guidelines for the ACMLA Honours Award. In addition, the committee has unanimously selected the paper by Cathy Moulder (Curator, Lloyd Reeds Map Library/Urban Documentation Center, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ont.), "Training Student Assistants for Reference Service in a Map Library", from the December 1992 issue of the Bulletin, as the recipient of the $200 1993 ACMLA Papers Award. After the committee agreed that the paper was worthy of consideration, it was referred to an outside person for evaluation. The reviewer commented that "it was a sterling example of a situation that all of us librarians in academia go through - training students - and yet this is the only publication on it I've seen." The reviewer also felt the paper was well presented and that the library literature had been checked. The reviewer did note an unpublished paper on the subject seen about 20 years ago. The reviewer also noted that "on the surface [this is] not a complex matter; but the work involved in setting up a student training manual certainly is extensive." We all felt that the paper admirably met the requirements of originality, uniqueness of subject matter and depth of research.
