AGO Design records

  • LA.AGOR025
  • Records group
  • 1914-2003, predominant 1970-2003

This records group consists of records generated by the Gallery’s Design department and its various iterations since it was first formally established in the early 1970s. The majority of records are textual and graphic, and include final design products as well as associated drafts, mockups, and textual documents, such as memos, notes and project descriptions. Common design projects include the creation of promotional material (such as brochures, flyers and posters), paper ephemera (such as tickets, stationary and invitations), administrative documents (such as forms, receipts, and ID Cards), and Gallery signage. Additionally, the records group includes records related to publications projects from the period of time that Publications was amalgamated with the Design department, between the 1970s and early 2000s. This includes records relating to the production of catalogues, newsletters, and various Gallery publications, including Annual Reports, The Gallery, and AGO News.

Also included are some records from design and publications projects prior to the 1970s, which were completed without the assistance of a formal department. These include a competition to design a seal for the Art Museum of Toronto in 1918, publications from the Women’s Committee, and other general design projects to support exhibitions, events, and other Gallery activities.
