In the mid 1990s, students at the Faculty of Education started the ‘Future Teachers Club’, an initiative “to encourage African/Canadian students in elementary and secondary schools to consider teaching as a career.”
You can learn about the FTC (and much more!) in the Gary Pieters fonds [B1996-0024]. Pieters (👉image 4) was an active participant in the FTC and a number of other Caribbean students’ activities on campus.

Follow the link in our bio to check out ‘Changemakers’, an online exhibit curated by Bryna Bernstein, Camilo Mejia, Kes Murray, graduates of the Master of Information and Master of Museum Studies programs at the University of Toronto! Many members of the public and students attending the University of Toronto today are not aware of how much the University has changed in a short amount of time. This online exhibit explores and highlights the role women played on campus from the late 1950s to the early 2000s. For most of this time, women were a minority on campus, many felt they faced barriers that made it an unequal, exclusionary, and discriminatory place. Despite this, women challenged these barriers, achieved success, and made their voices heard.

It’s the first full week of classes for fall semester and campus is buzzing again! Check out all the happenings on campus back in September 1970 from this image by the late Robert Lansdale.

Over nearly two centuries, the university has had numerous challenges and calls to change. A new online exhibit called “Onwards: The University of Toronto through Times of Change” created by students at the UofT's iSchool examines the university’s history in difficult times in partnership with the University of Toronto Archives. While the current pandemic may seem unprecedented, this is not the first time the university has had to face great challenges. Click the link in the biography to explore the online exhibit curated by Annie McCarron, Carys Owen & Leora Bromberg, graduates of the Master of Information and Master of Museum Studies programs at the University of Toronto.
The UofT remembers the Hon. William G. Davis, who passed away on August 8th. In June 1970, Davis - a UofT graduate (1951) and then Minister of University Affairs - took part in the cornerstone laying ceremony for Robarts Library. Davis would become Ontario’s 18th Premier the following year, serving in that role until 1985.
UofT Archives is saddened to learn of Robert Lansdale’s recent passing. We feel very fourtunate to house and provide access to the wonderful photographs he created that document University of Toronto life across our three campuses. These 3 staff favourites are Innisfree Farm, 1969, Robarts ceiling construction, and Homecoming Parade, 1970. Credit: Robert Lansdale Photography. 📷
