The University of the Fraser Valley has completed its digitization of the Newman Western Canadian Cookbook Collection, B.C. titles. The UFV Library has digitized 80 titles from the Newman Western Canadian Cookbook Collection (NWCC). Cookbooks, beyond their original intention, are now seen as cultural texts that illustrate a community’s structure including perceived gender norms, as well as food practices and technologies. This project benefits students in fields such as Geography, Anthropology and Culinary Arts as well as individuals, local historians and genealogists, and heritage organizations.
The digitization of the Newman Western Canadian Cookbook Collection, B.C. titles was digitized with support from the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre through its BC History Digitization Program and is made available through Digitization Program and is available via Arca.
