Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is pleased to announce the launch of Artists' Books: Bound in Art, a project funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage through its Canadian Culture Online Program.

This virtual exhibition showcases one of the most diverse, yet lesser-known genres of artwork held at LAC. Featuring beautiful, fragile, rare books, the website makes these treasured pieces accessible to all and teaches youth that artists' books are an important means of artistic expression.

The exhibition presents a gallery of 10 selected Canadian and Québécois book artists, publishers, and collective workshops. Furthermore, a gallery of books offers over 140 artists' books digitized by LAC so that Canadians everywhere could view these works without having to travel to Ottawa. A collection of fully digitized works and 3D books is now available online.

You are invited to visit the site at: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/livres-d-artistes/index-e.html.

The contributions of many LAC staff were instrumental in the success of this project, and their efforts are much appreciated.

Axée sur des livres magnifiques, rares et fragiles, l'exposition virtuelle met ces trésors à la portée de tous et permet aux jeunes de constater que les livres d'artistes constituent un moyen d'expression artistique de premier plan.

L'exposition met en vedette 10 artistes du livre, éditeurs et ateliers collectifs choisis du Canada et du Québec. Le site présente également une galerie de plus de 140 livres d'artistes, numérisés par BAC, dans le but de permettre aux Canadiens de partout au pays de consulter ces ouvres sans devoir se rendre à Ottawa. Une collection de livres numérisés et de livres en 3D peut être consultée en ligne.
