Women in the Archives
March-April 2024, Bata Library Atrium
International Women’s Day is March 8th and what better way to celebrate than by diving into records from Trent University’s own archives. We have chosen to represent contemporary and historical women who have pushed through gendered and racial barriers; making waves in their professions and paving the way for future generations.
Whitman and Twain: Highlights from the Feinberg Collection
October and November 2023, Bata Library Atrium
Curated by Gina Nemati
The Feinberg Collection of materials on Walt Whitman and Mark Twain, which includes first editions, rare printings, photographs, ephemera, and even a bronze cast of Whitman’s hand, is on permanent loan from the Peterborough Public Library and kept in Archives and Special Collections at Trent. The exhibit was curated by Gina Nemati (MA 2023), as part of her Public Texts internship placement with the Trent University Library and Archives.
