UVic Librarian Pia Russell was inspired by the findings from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to accomplish a fourth university degree, graduating in one of the first
cohorts in UVic’s new masters in public history program.
UVic Libraries recently launched its latest publication, [untitled]: The Artists’ Archives at the University of Victoria Libraries, exploring the archives of four celebrated local
artists in Special Collections and University Archives. The publication is presented as a series of four interrelated booklets—each told through the voice of a writer closely associated with
them, and packaged in a limited-edition portfolio.
PhD graduate Samantha MacFarlane defended her Humanities dissertation on the same day that she won a prestigious award for designing a digital exhibit about Johnny Cash. She
achieved it all, combining a love of storytelling with an enriching library work experience––in time for her June graduation.
UVic has a new agreement with Library and Archives Canada that will strengthen existing engagements between the two institutions and lead to new endeavours to facilitate the
sharing of expertise and knowledge, benefiting UVic faculty, staff and students.
