University of Alberta’s Bruce Peel Special Collections Library has won a LEAB award from the American Library Association for “Tinctor’s Foul Treatise,” an online exhibition curated by Andrew Colin Gow, professor of history and director of religious studies; Robert B. Desjardins, independent scholar and graduate writing advisor; and François V. Pageau, doctoral candidate in medieval history, at the University of Alberta.

The web developer for the project was Natasha Nunn and project manager was librarian, Linda Quirk.

“This entry presented an effective use of the online exhibit to present a single object from multiple viewpoints, in such a way as would be impossible in a physical exhibit,” noted Alexander C Johnston, chair of the RBMS Exhibition Awards Committee. “Its focus on this particular witchcraft treatise contributes to scholarship on the subject and history of late-medieval witchcraft and witch-hunts. Its creative use of Omeka templates makes for an easy-to-navigate and visually appealing digital exhibition.”

We think its pretty grand too!
