There are so many rare
books at the Library that it would be impossible to go through them all
but I thought I'd show you a cross section of some of it to whet your
appetite :-)
Now here is a better look
at the rare book shelves...
Opening up to locked door to the collection
And here you can see the shelving system and
also the volume of books that can be stored on each rack. The picture on
the right contains the Clan MacLeod Collection which is 6 shelves
And you can get a sense that inside each box a
treasure will be found :-)
Oversize rare books on left and the L.M.
Montgomery collection on the right
Here we see posters and maps being stored
And here is the Pioneer collection
And even more significant books are here and
this is one that I'm told is requested often
And this is Linda Amichand another member of
the library team
And Ellen found this issue of the Scottish
Canadian and I decided to photograph the whole issue for you to read here
:-)
And here we conclude this tour of the rare
book section
There are a considerable number of transcripts
of papers to do with Mary Queen of Scots
And just to illustrate the range these are old
cuttings about the poet Robert Fergusson
And so I hope you will see from all the
material shown in here that there is indeed a huge amount of Scottish
material covering a huge range of content |
