To celebrate UNB’s 225th anniversary, the Archives department at the University Libraries has mounted a series of virtual exhibits. Each represents a small piece of UNB’s 225-year history.

Visit the exhibits page to learn about the heads and presidents of UNB and its predecessors, the origin of Founders’ Day, Canada’s oldest astronomical observatory, UNB’s heraldic tapestries, and more.

At the same link you will find the Archives’ photographic databases featuring early class composites, group photos, honorary degree recipients and sports photos.

The Harriet Irving, Science & Forestry, and Engineering libraries on the Fredericton campus will open from 1pm – 11pm on Remembrance Day, November 11, 2010.

Beginning today at 6:30 p.m., student/faculty/staff printing on both campuses will be interrupted for approximately six hours. Printing by iPrint will be unavailable. Other means of printing may be available in your library.

There’s a great new way for you to stay informed about new materials arriving at UNB’s libraries : you can register for bi-weekly email announcements of latest additions.

The service covers all UNB libraries and is open to members of the UNB and STU communities – use your usual university login and password to register. The email messages are customized to match the libraries and subject areas that you choose, and you can change your selections or discontinue your registration at any time.

The service covers printed materials for general academic subject areas. We will consider adding online and special materials in the future. For more details, see the FAQ section of the registration page or contact your Liaison Librarian.
