The Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Archives offer service from the Rare Books and Special Collections Reading Room, McLennan Library Building, 4th floor. The Reading Room contains a range of resources, including published sources on the history of Montreal and Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, Ï㽶ÊÓƵ calendars and Ï㽶ÊÓƵ publications such as Old McGill and McGill News.
Also available in the Reading Room are the University Archives finding aids for manuscript collections and University records, as well as a series of FAQ information files about the University.
