New exhibit in the Reading Room!
Flock to the Fonds invites visitors into the archives to explore the history of birds and bird research at the University of Toronto. The archive holds a wide array of avian records – including personal birdwatching journals, nature photography, artists prints and ornithological research! From sparrows to eagles, ptarmigans to falcons, this exhibition highlights the avian endeavours of the U of T community over the years, as well as the enduring magic birds hold in our everyday lives. Exhibit on view in the UTARMS Reading Room now through Autumn 2026.
Researched and curated by Clara Lynas, UTARMS Graduate Student Library Assistant.
