Michael Gnarowski began studying and collecting Archibald Lampman's work as an undergraduate. A portion of the collection consists of the working library he developed over the course of his career in academia and publishing in connection with his Lampman scholarship. In 1996, Gnarowski purchased the Lampman family material that forms the core of the collection from John Metcalf. In 2019, Michael and Diana Gnarowski donated the complete collection to Library and Archives Canada in memory of Daniel and Nina Gnarowski.
