Canadian music legend, famed storyteller, and visual artist Tom Wilson is ensuring his work will be accessible for generations to come.

Wilson has donated his archive to the William Ready Division of Archives and Research Collections at McMaster University Library.

“I was not able to go to university, so the fact my archive is now at McMaster is pretty amazing,” said Wilson. “I sometimes joke that I made this gift because my basement is too full. It’s humbling, to be sure, to have McMaster serve as the home of my archive.”
