Esquesing Historical Society hears Ontario's archivist By LORI TAYLOR Herald staff writer Don't throw away that pile of papers you found in Grandma's attic-what looks like a pile of garbage to you may be a treasure trove to Hugh MacMillan. Mr. MacMillan is the only field worker for the Archives of Ontario, which collects documents and manuscripts from modern times to as far back as they can find. Mr. MacMillan addressed the Esquesing Historical Society Monday night on his work as a collector of manuscripts and documents for the Ontario Archives. Mr. MacMillan said tidy housewives are his nemesis, since they are constantly throwing things away which could prove valuable to the archivist. Women are better than men at remembering history, he said, but men make better collectors. Mr. MacMillan has been working with the Ontario Archives for about 14 years. The job is one he "more or less created", since at the time he began there were no field workers in Canada and only a handful in the United States.
