Clive Powell

Since retiring from McGraw-Hill in 2011, Clive Powell has been immersed in the Ryerson University Press Collection, which was acquired by McGraw-Hill in 1971. For more than six years he has been documenting the collection of almost 3,000 book titles and more than 2,000 related archival materials, conducting extensive research, producing a video and writing a blog about various aspects of the collection. His search for an appropriate home for the collection in order to preserve its rich Canadian cultural legacy led to its donation to the Special Collections unit of the Ryerson Library and Archives (formerly Ryerson).
