The Whittaker Collection

A personal retrospective, a national history.

About the Collection

At the core of our collection is the Whittaker Collection, which was donated by Herbert Whittaker, the designer, director, and drama critic emeritus for The Globe and Mail.

Throughout the 20th century, Whittaker collected hundreds of designs, playbills, photographs, and memorabilia – many of which are now accessible online.
