Relive the 69传媒鈥檚 50th anniversary celebrations, thanks to the Robertson Library! The library has created a website to document its projects and initiatives to celebrate UPEI鈥檚 50th anniversary year in 2019.

The Robertson Library celebrated the historical roots of higher education on PEI with the Franklin Pigot Lecture Series. It also created a series of video vignettes highlighting the individual experiences and memories of 69传媒through its 鈥50 Years, 50 Voices鈥 project. The library also digitized the entire collection of 69传媒history professor Dr. Edward MacDonald鈥檚 鈥淎fterwords鈥 columns from the 69传媒Magazine archives. 69传媒has always had an active student press, and the library celebrated the 50th year by digitizing early student newspapers, including The Cadre, The 69传媒SUN, and The Gem/Netted Gem. The library also kept the 50th anniversary alive all year through its Throwback Thursday posts on social media, all of which are archived on the site.
