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:
