An inspired collaboration between Pacific Opera Victoria and the University of Victoria Libraries has resulted in the creation of exhibits and displays which draw us into the world of the new Canadian opera Mary's Wedding. The University of Victoria Libraries present The World of Mary's Wedding: Reminiscences of World War I from the University of Victoria Archives and Special Collections. These exhibits and displays may be viewed:

• At the Maltwood Gallery at the McPherson Library, University of Victoria, October 22 to November 17
• In the Archives & Special Collections Reading Room at the McPherson Library, October 24 - December 16
• At the McPherson Playhouse during Mary's Wedding, and until Nov 20
• On a dedicated website, The World of Mary's Wedding: Reminiscences of World War I from the University of Victoria Archives and Special Collections

As we view the exhibits and through the act of remembering we honour those, both at home and abroad, who gave the ultimate sacrifice in a war that was fought almost a century ago.
