The UNB History at a Glance wiki, launched by UNB Archives & Special Collections, is becoming the go-to resource when looking for background information about the University of New Brunswick. Now three years old, the wiki expands upon the Archives & Special Collections’ frequently used vertical file, providing authoritative sources for information about not only UNB Presidents and Chancellors, but also UNB events, and most of the Fredericton faculties.

Please join us on Tuesday 22 April at 10:00 a.m. in Archives & Special Collections, Winslow Room # 506 as Holly Miller, Arts 3000 intern over the 2013-2014 academic year describes her experience. Over the course of her internship, Holly has researched and written entries for the Faculties of Science, Engineering, and Forestry & Environmental Management. Archives staff will make suggestions for and ask about possible future developments.
