When you hear the words “rare book,” you might think of an old, valuable book that’s hard to find, but there is much more to rare books than that. In this episode, we explore rare books and the collection held at Library and Archives Canada that has grown from relatively modest beginnings into one of the finest collections of rare printed material in the country. Joining us today from Library and Archives Canada is Special Collections Librarian Meaghan Scanlon.
