New Virtual Exhibition on A Canadian Patriot

The Library and Archives Canada Salutes a Great Canadian With its New Virtual Exhibition: “Sir John A. Macdonald: Canada’s Patriot Statesman. ”

The exhibition pays tribute to this great Canadian–the first Prime Minister of Canada and the dominant figure of the Canadian Confederation– through photographs, documentary art and other special documents from the LAC collection. It also features tens of thousands of pages from Macdonald’s political documents and correspondence, enabling all Canadians to get a closer look at his life, career and legacy; it will be online at Collections Canada as of July 9.
