St. Michael's College, U of TView all USMC Undergraduate, Graduate and Continuing Education programs.
The Book and Media Studies Program is an interdisciplinary and historical investigation of the role of printing, books and reading in cultures past and present. It covers topics such as manuscript and book production, internet publishing, book illustrations, advertising, censorship, and the ways readers use and enjoy books.
This undergraduate specialization in the physical and intellectual evolution of print culture takes advantage of the extensive human and physical resources already in place at the University of Toronto, which is home to a number of libraries and centres whose collections are unparalleled: the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, the Robertson Davies Library (Massey College), the Centre for 19th Century French Studies collections, the Pontifical Institute for Mediaeval Studies, the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies, the Department of Fine Arts exhibition catalogues collection, among others.
