The collection began in 1970 when Samuel Bronfman developed the archives and inforâ€" mation centre for The Distillers Corporationâ€" Seagram Ltd. in La Salle, Quebec on the site of the company‘s first distillery. This informaâ€" tion was moved to Waterloo in 1982 during the renovation of the Seagram warehouse. The collection totals 6,000 volumes and 200 pamplets from 1800 to the present. Subjects covered are the history and technology of wines and spirits, brewing, temperance, prohibition, glass and related industries such as cooperage and copperâ€"smithing as well as books on cookery, gastronomy and entertainâ€" ing. Since the Museum‘s official opening, May 16, 1984, the library has been open to the public as a reference source for the community. Sandra Lowman, archivistâ€"librarian, spoke enthusiastically about the members of the community she has assisted in recent months: *k *z omm "Artists and graphics designers have found endless illustrations from the past that can be adapted to present day advertising, university students have required research material on marketing techniques, bartenders find our collection enriching for their trade too. We‘ve had several filmmakers seeking to duplicate glassware and decor for their productions. Authors and historians, as well, must delve into the past for accurate information conâ€" cerning customs and traditions."

Many volumes are rare and historic editions. The collection also includes five hundred original prints, drawâ€" ings and watercolours â€" all giving praise to the grape. _ Karen Fraser, library assistant talked about another section of books dealing with the great vineyards of Europe: o "We have a large collection of books pertaining to the vineyards tourists like to visit. If someone is planning a vacation in Europe, they might consider a trip through the wine cellars of France and Italy. The Bordeaux Wine Company, gives addresses as to where to write for accommodation, fesâ€" tivals, and tours throughout the grapeâ€"growing areas. The Seagram Company owns the G.H. Munn Company with 550 acres of vineyards and arranges tours to observe the making of champagne and other wines." Another group of books details the history of drinking vessels down through the centuries. Fraser said that glass wasn‘t used until the late 1550s. An illustration is one of the books shows a wine goblet, from the reign of Charles II in the 1600s, with etched portraits of the king and queen. Before the first Venetian glassâ€" workers came to England, in the midâ€"1500s lead, bronze, clay, and wood containers were used. Coloured glass was created to enhance table decor and mask inferior mirky wines. Of course, as is today, the stronger the drink the smaller the vessel. Fraser said it‘s not easy to calculate the exact year public, social drinkâ€" ing became the custom: ‘"During the 1700s and 1800s public drinking establishments for the lower classes were opened throughout Europe, then as the actors and intellectuals began to patronize them so too did the other classes. Tavern owners then began to offer a variety of beverages and more sophisticated drinking vessels." " mCESCo (a*® ~ ~~Q Give us a try!
