"A library staff cookbook created to commemorate the 25th anniversary of UW? Esther Millar recently donated all her old files to the Archives, and we’re finding all sorts of interesting things! We received two copies of this, one of which has a “do not remove from library office” sticker. I note that it seems rather well-thumbed compared to our other copy…Also note the rather long list of errata, some of which could prove rather game-changing!" Submitted by Martha Lauzon.
Another find from Esther's collection! "This certificate was hand-written, so it wasn’t some automated last-name-first glitch turning “Library, Waterloo University, Serials Department” into the monster you see before you. In other news, when’s the last time the Serials department got a certificate for anything?" Submitted by Martha Lauzon.
