CALL/ACBD Canadian Association of Law Libraries

The Canadian Association of Law Libraries/L'Association canadienne des bibliothèques de droit (CALL/ACBD) has roots dating back to the late 1950's when several Canadian law librarians informally began meeting at annual meetings of the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) to discuss matters of mutual interest. On July 5, 1963, CALL/ACBD became a formal association with its own Constitution and By-Laws. The first President of CALL/ACBD was Marianne Scott, with Eunice Beeson acting as Vice-President and Rosemary McCormick acting as Secretary. CALL/ACBD also became a chapter of AALL in 1963 and continued as a chapter of AALL until 1971.
