Administrative history
The history of the Library's Special Collections dates from the founding of the University, when the Library was referred to as the Library Hall and Museum. The Museum was part of Convocation Hall, built in Windsor around 1865 to house the Library. It consisted of a series of "curiosities" and rare books that were donated to and collected by the College. The design of the new Library, opened in Halifax in 1991, includes both a gallery and Archives.
