Rutherford South Library University of Alberta

Lesser-known historic Edmonton museums

Tucked away on the lower level of Rutherford South Library at the U of A, the Bruce Peel Special Collections library is truly a treat for booklovers or for anyone with an appreciation of history, art and design. This collection contains rare and unusual books, some that defy the standard definition of a “book” with their intricate pop-up artwork that requires protective gloves to touch.
