New Exhibition at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library

[Sandra Alston <sandra.alston@UTORONTO.CA>]

Extra muros/Intra muros: A Collaborative Exhibition of Rare Books and 
Special Collections at the University of Toronto

Exhibition Dates: September 25-December 21, 2006

Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, University of Toronto

Within the walls of the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, there are 
roughly 700,000 books and many large collections of literary and 
historical manuscripts, including the University of Toronto Archives. 
It  is the largest and most diverse research resource of its kind in  
Canada. However, without those walls, but within the University of 
Toronto, there are a dozen other important Special Collections 
departments whose  resources are well known to the specialist scholars 
who use them, but are not, perhaps, as visible to the general university 
and scholarly communities. This is the first time we have attempted a 
joint, collaborative exhibition to display in one venue a selection of 
the treasures throughout the whole university.


More information about the exhibition, and its illustrated catalogue, 
edited by Marie Korey, the Librarian of Massey College, can be found at 
the Library's web site:
