Phenomena: Rare Classics books on display 3-21 June
The Central Library is hosting an exhibition of 12 rare classical texts recently donated to the Logie Memorial Collection by the late Professor Douglas A. Kidd.
In addition to being a renowned classicist, Douglas Kidd was also an avid collector, and sought out rare books to support his research interests. With publications dating to as early as 1499, this collection includes early writing on astronomy, poetry and weather lore, and features translations of the writings of Aratus, Tacitus, Cicero, and Virgil amongst others.
Complementing Douglas Kidd’s books is a volume from the UC Library’s Rare Books collection, a 1679 edition of Manilius’s Astronomica.
The Phenomena exhibition, curated by Terri Elder and Penny Minchin-Garvin, is located at the far end of Level 2, adjacent to the Student Support Services.

New online exhibition - Learning By Design
The University of Canterbury has long held a special place in the life of Christchurch, and nowhere is this more obvious than in the original buildings of Canterbury College. The new online exhibition Learning by Design gives a visual history of the town site, which is now home to the Christchurch Arts Centre.
Through a wealth of architectural drawings, photographs, books and archives drawn from UC’s Library collections, the exhibition shares the story of the buildings, and the people who lived and worked in them.
Starting with the University’s humble beginnings in 1873 as Canterbury College, Learning by Design traces the evolution of the institution through to 1973 when the University’s move to Ilam was complete and the site was gifted to the people of Christchurch. Learning by Design celebrates the formidable union between the University, architects, staff, students, and the wider Christchurch community that led to the creation of Canterbury College.
The exhibition shows that the buildings are more than just bricks and mortar – they form the foundations of UC and the exhibition showcases not only the early physical fabric of the University but also aspects of campus life.

Heating in Ilam Campus libraries
Heating in the Ilam Campus Libaries (Central, EPS and MB) has been switched off for the last week while remediation repairs are undertaken to the campus boiler. There has been a short delay to the completion of the project and Facilities Management staff are attending to this urgently and will have the heating restored as soon as possible. Dovedale campus, and the Education Library, is not part of this boiler remediation repair programme, and has an operational heating system.
