Description: Welcome to the A.W. Purdy Digital Archive hosted by the University of Saskatchewan Special Collection Library. In 1966 the University of Saskatchewan was fortunate enough to acquire a collection of Al Purdy's work through literary agent Laurie Hill. It comprises a significant part of his early work and includes: manuscripts; drafts; journal publications; monographs; articles and reviews of his work; volumes of other poets work; personal correspondence and poems from the likes of Margaret Atwood, Milton Acorn, Earle Birney and Irving Layton; photos; vinyl cuts; and audio recordings. The digital archive is a work-in-progress, an attempt to represent as much of this collection as possible in an online format available for all to access. Initially the site will exist as a simple repository of digitized objects divided into relevant format catagories: manuscripts, published work, correspondence, images, and audio. In addition, materials devoted to scholarship or analysis related to the collection will be included in the Analysis section. Finally, resources such as bibliographies, external links and print resources will be continually updated to provide the interested researcher with every opportunity to locate information related, in particular, to Purdy's early career.

Title: The Saskatchewan Landscape

URL: http://scaa.usask.ca/gallery/saskatchewan/

Description: This virtual exhibit was designed to be a testament to the beauty of the province of Saskatchewan. Often thought of only in terms of flatness, cold, and great distances, Saskatchewan is in fact a treasure trove of subtle and stunning beauty. The cultural heritage of the province is equally well furnished with great artists, writers, and musicians. This exhibit attempts to show some of the great diversity of the province, through its flora, fauna, and physical geography; and to highlight a few of the many interpretations of Saskatchewan by its writers and artists.
