Canada: First-Ever Display in Canada of Treaty of Paris, Part of Library and Archives Canada Major Exhibition
Library and Archives Canada, in collaboration with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in the United States, is launching today a unique international exhibition at 395 Wellington Street in Ottawa, on the occasion of the 225th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Paris. The exhibition entitled 1783: Subject or Citizen? marks the first collaborative educational initiative between the two national institutions.
“The Treaty of Paris changed forever the life of not only one nation, but two,” said the Librarian and Archivist of Canada, Ian E. Wilson. “This exhibition tells the story through a unique partnership, one which serves as an elegant metaphor for the special friendship Canada has with the United States.”
