Launched in May 2021, this digital exhibition was created in 2019-2020, when Shannen Shott—a graduate student at the School of Library and Information Studies and a part-time employee at University of Alberta's Bruce Peel Special Collections—worked with Linda Quirk and Jeff Papineau to recreate one of the Peel library's archived digital exhibitions with updated content and a fresh, new design created by Natasha Nunn.

The archived exhibition was originally created over a four-year period (2008-2012) when Professor Patricia Demers worked with a team of graduate students to curate an exhibition of a selection of the artists' books held in Bruce Peel Special Collections. This work was made possible with the generous support of the SSHRC-sponsored "Women Writing and Reading in Canada from 1950" project and its dedicated research assistants. Launched in 2012, the original exhibition lost much of its functionality a few years later when the software with which it was created was no longer supported, and the exhibition content was archived.
