The Canadian tribute to human rights, Ottawa, Ontario
1986-1987
Project
File documents Melvin Charney’s submission for a design competition commissioned by the Canadian Tribute to Human Rights, Inc. Groundbreaking on Charney’s design was in November 1988, construction began in July of the following year, and the Tribute was unveiled on 30 September 1990 by the 14th Dalai Lama. Later additions include a plaque dedicated to John Peters Humphrey, and a series of plaques written in the aboriginal languages of Canada. Includes textual records, architectural drawings (elevations, sections, details), sketches, photographic materials, and artefacts.
Material in this series was likely kept in it's original order when it was first processed upon it's arrival at CCA.
