Digital Collections and Exhibitions
The Criminology Library is excited to share our new digital exhibit, ‘This Book is Free, the Contributors are Not:’ The Penal Press in Canada. This exhibition showcases, for the first time, our extensive collection of penal press publications, spanning seven provinces and four decades. Comprised entirely of material written and produced by prisoners, this exhibition aims to amplify the voices of prisoners, allowing them to tell their own stories, including conflicts with guards and administration, the experiences of women, Indigenous organizations, and censorship.
2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies!
Click the image above to explore our new exhibition, which takes a look at the publications, articles and special projects of the Centre from the last six decades.
Want to know more? Check out the original archives that we used to build the exhibit - they are available for consultation at the library.
