The Second Vice-President has responsibility for the publications program of the
Association.
Publications Committee:
Please see the Committee report for the status of various projects. Lorraine Dubreuil and Cheryl Woods have an impressive draft for their work on a union list of Canadian fire insurance plans. There are still collections they need to check so the work is ongoing. The Committee is looking for potential publications which would be suitable for the Association to sponsor.
Publications Officer:
Please see Louis Cardinal's report. He filled orders for 97 publications.
ACMLA Bulletin:
Please see the Bulletin Editor's report.
The Association is very grateful that the Bulletin is now on publishing schedule.
Interesting articles on a variety of topics have appeared so there are candidates for a Papers Award.
Cathy Moulder has put considerable effort into seeking out people to contribute articles, thus ensuing that there will be content to keep the Bulletin informative. She welcomes suggestions and articles.
Frances Woodward is maintaining the on-line index to the Bulletin, which can be found at:
Historical Maps Committee:
Please see the report. Cheryl Woods is to be commended for finding sponsorship and printing two more titles in the coloured bird's eye view series. If sponsorship can be found, two more titles will be added in the coming year. Sales for the facsimiles continue to be strong.
ACMLA Homepage:
A brief job description was approved by the Board. Nan Fern, Queen's University Map Library, volunteered to become the ACMLA webmaster, responsible for the technical aspects of maintaining the web site. Please see her report. The ACMLA URL is

Thanks to all the members who are contributing to the publications aspect of the Association's work.
Respectfully submitted,
