Our team is involved in dozens of projects across the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) campus to support teaching and research. Building these digital collections is an enormous undertaking and every member of our team is involved in preserving, arranging, describing, and providing accesss to our rare and unique materials. This can involve selecting materials for digitization that adheres to copyright and privacy rights, while ensuring high-quality digital surrogates are produced and made discoverable for today's and tomorrow's researchers. We are excited for you to discover our Archives & Special Collections and please contact us at utml.cds@utoronto.ca if you have any questions about our materials or need any support with your research.
