SUMMARY:Exhibit | New at McGill: Recent Additions to Rare Books and Special Collections
DESCRIPTION:La version française à venir \n\nThoughtful collection 
 development is a significant curatorial responsibility for librarians and 
 archivists. Each year\, Rare Books and Special Collections actively 
 collects new materials through donation and purchase to support the 
 evolving research\, teaching\, and learning interests of the McGill 
 community. As part of this work\, staff engage in a wide variety of 
 activities including critically assessing collections\, identifying areas 
 or subjects as collecting priorities\, reviewing possible donations\, 
 conducting research\, and relationship building with community 
 stakeholders\, book dealers\, and donors.\n\n \n\nNew at McGill highlights 
 recent additions in several of the library’s collecting areas\, including 
 botany\, astronomy\, architecture\, and the works of Voltaire. This 
 exhibition invites visitors to discover new areas of interest and learn
