Background

 

The Archives & Special Collections of the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) Library was formed in 2019. Since the opening of the first Erindale College Library, the Library has acquired records and artifacts dating from the establishment of the campus in 1967 to the present day. In 2006, the Library moved into the Hazel McCallion Academic Learning Centre and established the UTM Archive on the fourth floor to hold the archives and special collections in support of curricula and research on campus.
