We recently acquired a donation from Librairie À La Page, a cash book from Manitoba College spanning 1881-1883. Manitoba College was founded in 1871, and was one of the founding colleges that made up the now University of Manitoba. In 2027 we will be celebrating 150 years of the University of Manitoba.
