Allison Margot Smith, a graduate of Carleton’s B.A. in History (Honours) and M.A. in Public History programs, has been awarded the 2022-23 OHS President’s Award from the Ontario Historical Society. The award’s citation points to Allison’s many contributions to public history in Ontario, including her documentary film on Mary Ann Shadd which was also her capstone M.A. project.
