Emily Woster (curator) and I (contributing consultant) are thrilled with the interest in the annemanuscript.ca site since its launching on January 19, 2022.
Some 10,000 people from 50+ countries have visited the site so far.
See articles in Quill & Quire, the Globe and Mail, CTV, CBC, and in Emily Woster’s hometown newspaper in Duluth, Minnesota. The exhibit has been noted on sites in Japan, Ukraine and Poland.
Emily gives a wonderful introduction to the site at the official launching on January 19, 2023, at the Confederation Centre of the Arts, with a packed room and people linked in from all over the world. Click here to watch the exhibition opening.
Emily Woster (curator) and I (contributing consultant) had so much fun working on this for the past two and a half years. Click here for the site: The Anne of Green Gables Manuscript: L.M. Montgomery and the Creation of Anne
In thematically linked presentations, two keynote speakers Elizabeth R. Epperly and Eri Muraoka contend that learning demands revision, for artists themselves and for those who study them and their work. Click here for more.
I was thrilled when the L.M. Institute committee, in celebrating its 25th anniversary and unbeknownst to me, decided to name one of its new awards in my honour! This photograph, by Anne Victoria Photography, shows the adjudicating committee and first recipient for the first-ever ” Dr. Elizabeth R. Epperly Award for Outstanding Early Career Paper.”

Three long-time Montgomery scholars and authors celebrate books and reading at the 13th biennial international L.M. Montgomery Institute conference at UPEI in Charlottetown, PEI, on June 22, 2018: Drs. Elizabeth Waterston, Mary Rubio, and Elizabeth Epperly. The theme of the conference was “L.M. Montgomery and Reading.” Elizabeth Waterston was signing copies of her recent book Readying Rilla and Betsy was signing copies of Power Notes: Leadership by Analogy and the children’s book illustrated by her sister (Carolyn Epperly) Summer in the Land of Anne.
Twenty-five years ago today (April 26, 1993) we launched the L.M. Montgomery Institute at UPEI with a huge “hooray”!
