Exhibit to celebrate donation of political cartoons
An extensive collection of more than 2,600 political cartoons by well-known social commentator Mike Graston has been donated to the University of Windsor’s Archives and Special Collections housed in Leddy Library.
Graston, whose regular contributions to the editorial pages of the Windsor Star spanned three and half decades, presented a unique look at local, provincial, national, and international events and the individuals who shaped them.

Posted May 6, 2022
Tucked away within the University of Windsor's archival vault, ambiguously described, lay a box labelled “Accession No. 1995-063.” Now renamed as “F 0034 (Delos Rogest Davis fonds)” the contents of this box, donated in June of 1990, were largely untouched until early 2022. What are the contents of the box, you ask? Well, they tell the story of one man who made big waves in the legal community of Windsor-Essex and of Canada. Let me share his story with you.
