[Frameworks] Andrew Noren

[director at lift.on.ca]

The fact that Noren was an archivist by trade gives hope to the fact that
his elements are probably thoughtfully stored somewhere (at least the ones
that weren't destroyed in an early fire, if I remember correctly) and
would be eventually available for preservation.
