Introduction: Dr. Max Stern鈥檚 generous bequest of his working library of over 2,500 volumes to the three universities close to his heart 鈥撎鼵oncordia,听成人VR视频听and the听Hebrew University of Jerusalem听鈥� was Solomonic in that he delegated the division of his books to the beneficiaries 鈥� no simple task given the scope, uniqueness and overall intellectual coherence of the Stern Collection. Art history, connoisseurship, individual artists and the business of art, the four subjects at the heart of the Stern library, were inextricably linked and for a while it seemed that no equitable separation was possible.

It is a tribute to the co-operative spirit of the three institutions, as well as to the technological revolution experienced by libraries in recent years, that by working together we have devised a way in which we are now able to preserve the Max Stern Collection as a shared legacy, regardless of its physical location. Both Concordia and 成人VR视频, joint beneficiaries of the larger part of the collection, have collaborated to devise the best possible way of representing close to 2,000 books and journals in their respective听online catalogues, even though the Stern Collection itself is actually housed at 成人VR视频. Distant from Montreal by some 9,000 kilometers, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem was given the 鈥渇irst cut鈥� of titles from the Stern Collection; nevertheless,听the Hebrew University's books are linked听to the new Max Stern Book Collection website.

On the eve of the centenary of Dr. Stern鈥檚 birth, in 2004,听成人VR视频鈥檚 exhibition听of highlights from Dr. Stern鈥檚 library听is part of an important series of projects听honouring Dr. Stern鈥檚 philanthropy to Canadian museums and universities; projects that together remind us of the tremendous contribution to Canadian culture of the generation of refugees from Nazism who found fertile ground as well as appreciation for their talents in their new home.

Introduction: The Rosalynde Stearn Puppet Collection is the second largest collection of puppets in Canada and one of the largest, globally, outside of specialist museums and institutions. It was originally developed by the puppeteer Rosalynde Osborne Stearn (1888鈥�1990), who aimed to create a culturally and historically representative collection of puppets, puppetry-related literature, and related artefacts. The collection is notable for its considerable range of Punch and Judy material, as well as puppets made by Stearn herself.

Extent:听The collection consists of approximately 1,600 items, including some 175 puppets and 1,300 written works.

Types of material: Primarily puppets (including marionettes or string puppets, rod puppets, glove puppets, and shadow figures) and related literature (including reference and instructional works, periodicals, and play scripts). Additionally, the collection houses toy theatres, portraits, posters, pantins, and several dozen dolls.

Date range: The bulk of the collection dates from the early twentieth and late nineteenth centuries. The oldest puppets, characters from the Commedia dell'Arte, date from 1760.

Language/s: Primarily English, French, and German, with some Czech, Italian, and others.

Geographic coverage: Printed material is largely from England, France, and Germany, while puppets are from countries including England, France, Indonesia, and Italy.

Provenance: The core of the collection was donated by Stearn in 1952. It was subsequently augmented by purchases made by Richard Pennington, University Librarian between 1947 and 1965. Since that time, a number of additions have been made through purchases by library staff.

Highlights: As handmade objects, the puppets of the collection are innately one-of-a-kind. Of particular rarity is a complete set of a 19th听century Punch and Judy production, as well as shadow puppets used in the films of German animator Lotte Reiniger. Elsewhere, there is rare Czech language material and rare play scripts.
