February is one of our biggest months in UASC, as this is typically when appraisals happen on collections that have been donated over the past year. This means that we must have all of our collections processed and ready for the appraisers when they arrive to work their magic.

This year saw some great new additions to our collections, and I would like  to share a bit of information about each of them — from mounds of Aboriginal research materials, to music,  theater, and more, the list is well worth checking out for anyone interested in seeing what we have, and getting an idea of what we do.

In other news:

• Some of Diefenbaker’s flags from our collection were once again featured in the National Post. Popular items!
• A new mini exhibit entitled Back to the Future has gone up in the ground and third floor cases of the Murray library, featuring an array of outdated media. Nothing like looking at a cassette tape in a display case to make you feel old!
