Knowledge Keepers: Authorship, Artistry and Archives Exhibition in the Murray Library on the University of Saskatchewan campus will conclude on Dec. 18. It is the first time the University Library has curated an exhibition which profiles Aboriginal-only related materials. It was developed to coincide with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s National Event which took place in Saskatoon, June 21-24, and was unveiled in May 2012. Coordinated by the University Library and featuring many published materials held by the library, the physical exhibit also includes unpublished materials from the holdings of the University Archives. There is also an accompanying website which showcases Aboriginal research materials which compliments and augments the exhibition with detailed information regarding Aboriginal authors, musicians, artifacts, artwork and scholarly work. As well the site highlights our other Aboriginal-themed digital initiatives.
