The new digital exhibition <\/span>Writing in Company: Forms of Collaboration in Artistic Works and Scientific Knowledge 1700-1914<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>features 52 carefully selected page openings from across the McGill University library rare and special collections\u00a0and\u00a0aims to demonstrate the essentially collaborative nature of printed works. It calls into question the commonly perceived equation, “one work = one author.” \u00a0Forms of collaborative practices are expressed in stage performance scripts, musical score interpretations, the serialized novel, and even in institutional protocols for collective expeditionary works.<\/p>\n

The physical exhibition<\/a> was originally on display from April to August 2014 in the lobby of McGill\u2019s Rare Books and Special Collections. It was curated by graduate students St\u00e9phanie Favreau (UQAM) and Adina Ruiu (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al), and made possible by the collaboration between Interacting with Print<\/span><\/a> and Rare Books and Special Collections<\/span><\/a> of the McGill Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

This project afforded the opportunity to digitize about 12 items in full and add them to our library catalogue, bringing to light items from the Pauline Donalda Collection, consisting of a donation of music scores and related printed works, which this McGill trained singer offered \u00a0to McGill University in the 1940s. To see and download the full version of each item you can click on the images to go to the record in our catalogue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
