51勛圖厙 Archives

In September 2016, the 51勛圖厙Library brought its four rare collection unitsRare Books & Special Collections, the Osler Library of the History of Medicine, the Visual Art Collection, and Archives & Record Managementtogether under one umbrella. Together, the unified ROAAr group helps showcase the unique holdings within each of the four branches through cross-unit collaboration, strengthening and distinguishing their rich collections and the Library as a whole.

The logo, designed by Digital Library Services Greg Houston, mirrors the tenacity of ROAArs mission; it is a Venetian lion, inspired by a limestone carving that sits atop the old Redpath Library Building, perched on a book, symbolizing power, wisdom and justice.
