Un legs exceptionnel de manuscrits relatifs à Voltaire (1694-1778) comptant environ 290 documents a récemment été confié à McGill par Peter Lambert-David Southam. Bien que toutes les périodes de la carrière de Voltaire y soient représentées, cette collection vient notamment enrichir notre compréhension de la période pendant laquelle Voltaire vit au château de Ferney à partir de 1760.

Games can unite players or divide them. They can build common interest, edify, and entertain. Early tabletop and card games often provided ways to play your way to learning. Whether educational, moral, or purely for entertainment, games provide a rich history of design, artwork, and typography.

About Reading Abbott
Maude Abbott loved to read. This exhibition explores both what she read and ways we can read her life story. While many publications on the famous doctor have focused on the barriers she faced in a male-dominated profession, this exhibition places Abbott among her favourite authors, texts, and locations. At its heart are Abbott’s five diaries. These precious journals record her daily activities, meetings, travels, meals, health, friends, books, and even her hair appointments.
