Exhibition coming in September: Collecting Culinaria
COMING SOON!
Collecting Culinaria: Cookbooks and Domestic Manuals Mainly from the Linda Miron Distad Collection
Curators: Caroline Lieffers and Merrill Distad
3 September 2024 – 31 March 2025
Back by popular demand, this visually compelling exhibition of books and ephemera relating to the preparation and enjoyment of food over several centuries is a tribute to a generous donor and a remarkable woman. From national and regional cookbooks to manuscript and corporate cookbooks, this exhibition features highlights from the collection of librarian-researcher-editor-chef Linda Miron Distad (1944–2012) who had a special ability to “combine, separate, enhance, reduce, clarify, liaise,” and thereby to make magic. Check out a related digital exhibition: Culinaria: A Taste of Food History on the Prairies. The catalogue for this exhibition may be purchased through University of Alberta Press or Indigo.
