Centre for Criminology At Robarts Library - Immersive Map Experience

Between 1974 and 2007, the Centre for Criminology was located on the 8th floor of Robarts. Curious what it looked like then? The archives hold original architectural blueprints of the space, as well as a scrapbook maintained by staff in the 1970s. Both of these items, alongside other archival material, provide us with the opportunity to go back in time.
