Leddy Library digital scholarship services can help you organize, share, mobilize, disseminate, preserve, and present your research in innovative, wide-reaching and accessible ways. We can facilitate collaboration with other researchers, as well as assist with the Tri-Council funding requirements for dissemination and preservation of results, and help support innovative classroom projects.
Here are some of our more recent projects:
We Were Here: Documenting Windsor's McDougall Street Corridor showcases this city’s rich Black history and illustrates the devastating impacts of city planning and urban renewal efforts on a historic neighbourhood. Though only a few traces of this once vibrant, bustling Black neighbourhood remain, the community’s legacy remains strong. We Were Here offers a collection of essays, images, maps, artifacts, and documents that depict this community, and invites you to learn more about a vital chapter in Canadian history. [Willow Key, Irene Moore Davis, Sarah Glassford, Heidi Jacobs]
Michael Chekhov: The Actor is the Theatre is a digital exhibition featuring an archive of approximately 3,600 typewritten pages documenting Michael Chekhov’s work with the Chekhov Theatre Studio. [Peter Zimmerman, Lionel Walsh, Brian Owens, Michael Chekhov Association (MICHA)]
