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.

It was a wonderful moment at the 13th biennial conference banquet when Jennie Macneill received an LMMI Legacy Award for the work she and the late John Macneill have done in creating, developing, and maintaining the Site of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Cavendish Home. Their son David Macneill now runs the Site (where a Project Bookmark was unveiled on June 24th).
