Brisk February days bring to mind the fun, music, and community of McGill’s Winter Carnivals! The first one was in 1948 and subsequent events included athletic activities, ice sculptures, and much more winter fun. McGill University Archives have in their holdings a wide array of Carnival ephemera, including tickets, programs, photos, memorabilia, and beyond. To keep the Carnival spirit alive in 2026, we’ve created phone backgrounds from a few of these archival materials so you can hold history in the palm of your hand.
