This exhibition celebrates the donation of the Scarboro Foreign Missions Society records to the Library’s Special Collections: Archives and Rare Books. Curated by Francesca Rousselle, we explore the evolution of justice-oriented mission work from the Society’s early efforts at poverty-alleviation, the anticipation and response to the Second Vatican Council, and the subsequent expansion of ministries focusing on economic, political, interfaith and ecological justice. 

A commemorative online exhibition about L’Arche and Sr. Sue Mosteller, CSJ, OC, in celebration of the 55th anniversary of L’Arche Daybreak and the 60th anniversary of the first L’Arche community in Trosly, France. Co-curated by the library’s Special Collections team and the L’Arche Communities, highlights the significance of Sr. Mosteller’s work in the growth and development of L’Arche. It features the results of ten years of Joe Egan’s long-term commitment volunteering with Special Collections which has enabled us to enrich the L’Arche Audiovisual Collection with detailed item-level descriptions to improve accessibility. 

For more than 100 years, women have made their mark at the St. MIke’s. Whether as students, professors, or staff, women have offered deep and lasting contributions. Women’s religious communities opened the college doors for female students more than 100 years ago, with the arrival of the Loretto Sisters and the Sisters of St. Joseph as professors and advocates for women’s higher education. Through archival materials and historical accounts, this online exhibition celebrates how these two religious communities changed the face of St. Michael’s.
