📸 Image 2: CARISA Legacy
Did you know? Leddy Library preserves the history of the UWindsor Caribbean Association of Students (CARISA) — a vibrant, supportive group that created a “home away from home” for Caribbean students. 🌎 Their legacy lives on worldwide!

📸 Image 3: First Love Letters
The very first archival donation to Leddy Library? Love letters! 💌 Written by New Zealand modernist Katharine Mansfield, these letters were gifted in 1958 — but sealed until 1974! They made quite the headline when finally unveiled. [More: https://uwinarchives.accesstomemory.org/katherine-mansfield-fonds]
