One of our own is being honored tonight. Leonora Gidlund, Director of 
the New York City Municipal Archives, is one of the seven who will 
receive the Sloan Public Service Award from the Fund for the City of New 
York.  The award recognizes public servants who have rendered 
exceptional service to the public.  It's great that an archivist is 
being recognized.

For the full story, see the New York Times article (which includes a big 
photo of Leonora in the stacks) at:

(you will need to register to access it, but there's no cost)

Congratulations, Leonora!
