Print and Manuscript Collections
The print collections of the Rare Books and Special Collections department at the Fisher Library are many and varied, reflecting the wide diversity of research conducted at the University of Toronto by its own faculty and students, visiting scholars, and the general public. Chronologically, they range from books from the earliest days of the printing press to modern artists' books.
