Special Collections is exhibiting select items from its prized Seagram Museum Library Collection until the end of April in its display cases located on the first floor of the Dana Porter Library.
The Seagram collection is widely recognized as "the world's finest collection on the beverage alcohol industry" and was featured last year alongside other top research collections in the Association of Research Libraries' 75th anniversary publication Celebrating Research.
Highlights of the exhibit include:
As described in the Introduction to the Seagram Museum Collection, Special Collections acquired the formidable Seagram collection in 1997 when the Seagram Museum officially closed.
The Department's intention is to serve as a reference library to those writing and researching in the field of the beverage alcohol industry, as well as to continue the Seagram Museum's desire "to tell the story of the Seagram company (the world's largest producer and marketer of spirits and wines), the distilling industry, and associated industries such as glass making, cooperage (barrel making) and advertising."
