 Rare Books and Special Collections
Plate by Robert Anning Bell from William Shakespeare, The Tempest, London, Freemantle, 1901 The foundation SPCK (Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge) and Strachan Collections and the Rare Books Collection are mainly theological with strength in Anglicanism. Other special collections include works by and about Trinity authors such as Austin Clarke, Archibald Lampman, Dorothy Livesay, Sir Gilbert Parker, and Henry Youle Hind. The Churchill Collection was recently enhanced with an extraordinary donation of works from the collection of the late F. Bartlett Watt made possible by the generosity of Lucienne Watt, Fred and Anne Stinson, and other members of the Churchill Society for the Advancement of Parliamentary Democracy (Toronto). The collection includes first and numerous other editions of Churchill's works, original letters, memorabilia and important works about Churchill. Searches in the University of Toronto Library catalogue can be limited to the Graham Library's Churchill Collection by selecting the following Location in the advanced search mode: Trinity (Graham Library) Churchill Collection. The W. Speed Hill Collection of the Works of Richard Hooker (and Others) includes all major editions of the works of this foundational Anglican theologian from the collection of the general editor of the definitive Folger Edition of Hooker's works. This collection was acquired by the Graham Library in 2003 through the generosity of Professor Hill, who attended the October 2004 opening of an inaugural exhibit of highlights from the collection. The G7/G8 Economic Summit Collection contains original documents from the Summits collected by the G8 Research Group based at Trinity College, the University of Toronto, in the Munk Centre for International Studies. This unique resource represents possibly the largest collection of print documentation related to the Summits. The collection is listed in a finding aid on the website that it supports, the G8 Information Centre. Works from special collections may be used by qualified readers during reference service hours, but may not be immediately available if the Library has not received advance notice of the materials required.
