November 2, 2017 — 

The University of Manitoba was first founded on February 28, 1877, becoming the first degree-granting body in Western Canada. Over the course of the University’s 140th year, Archives & Special Collections will be sharing 140 historical images of the University of Manitoba.

Halloween may be over but we’re taking a look at some costumes worn on campus from the 1960s-1980s.
