This page summarises all projects under the WikiProject UTL umbrella. The projects are grouped as follows:

This is how you get started.

* '''Collections''' projects improve article content and reference using UTL material

* Section has to be expanded for TOC to work

* '''Infrastructure''' projects make it easy for readers to find relevant UTL holdings (e.g. [[Help:Archives|archives]])

* '''Community''' projects organise UTL community members to improve articles in their interest areas

You can collapse each box (grouping) for ease of reading. All projects openly and publicly benefit Wikipedia users; most projects prioritise less visible histories. Everyone is invited to join any project!

If you'd like to get involved, freely add yourself to the full list of participants in the box below the table of contents. Each project has its own subset of participants, which you can also freely add yourself to.

<big>'''Notes'''</big>

* Text-based edits seek to improve the balanced and verifiable representation of history surrounding each topic.

* All contributions draw on thorough familiarity with digitised material, and on the most authoritative and balanced secondary sources to date.

* Where existing narrative is comprehensive and up-to-date, references are added to help verify content and to provide entry points to quality sources for further research.

* Primary sources are contributed where self-evident (e.g. a 1923 Nobel Prize medal inscribed to [[Frederick Banting]] as evidence of the Nobel Prize was awarded to him in 1923).

* Where contextual interpretation is required to understand the cited material, balanced secondary sources are used to support the contribution.

* Media or links may be rearranged based on article relevance, but with sensitivity to the overall focus of the page.

* Sections or articles are created where chunks of notable information are missing.

This collection draws together relevant material from the initial period of the discovery and development of [[insulin]], 1920-1925 at the [[University of Toronto]]. In 1923, the [[Nobel Prize in Medicine]] awarded to [[Frederick Banting]] and [[J. J. R. Macleod]] formally recognized the achievement of the Toronto team in discovering and developing insulin.<ref>{{cite web |title=Nobel Prize medal inscribed to F. G. Banting {{!}} The Discovery and Early Development of Insulin |url=https://insulin.library.utoronto.ca/islandora/object/insulin%3AA10012 |website=University of Toronto Libraries}}</ref> In 2013, this collection was inscribed into [[UNESCO]]’s [[Memory of the World Register]].<ref>{{cite web |title=The Discovery of Insulin and its Worldwide Impact {{!}} United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization |url=http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/memory-of-the-world/register/full-list-of-registered-heritage/registered-heritage-page-8/the-discovery-of-insulin-and-its-worldwide-impact/ |website=UNESCO Memory of the World}}</ref>

This extensive collection contains over 7,000 items reproducing original documents ranging from laboratory notebooks and charts, correspondence, and published papers to photographs, awards, and artifacts. These were mostly digitized from material held by [[Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library]] at the [[University of Toronto]].

The interactive timeline presents a chronological summary of the discovery and development of insulin as a pharmaceutical product.<ref>{{cite web |title=Interactive Timeline {{!}} The Discovery and Early Development of Insulin |url=https://insulin.library.utoronto.ca/about/timeline |website=University of Toronto Libraries |accessdate=13 February 2019}}</ref>
