Did you know the number of books and archival materials in UCalgary's Archives and Special Collections has doubled since 2019?

Join Annie Murray, UCalgary rare books and special collections librarian, for a presentation about the wide range of materials available in UCalgary's Archives and Special Collections. She will present on recent acquisitions, major collecting areas and special projects underway. With the ingestion of the majority of the books and archives from the Glenbow, Archives and Special Collections has grown significantly. Learn more about our special collections, including rare books, comic books, mysteries, antiquarian books, and more. Annie will also give an overview of and share highlights from the array of archival holdings on Western Canadian history, music, literature, architecture, military history, and the university’s history.
