The records have been arranged in four sub-series, following the applicable sub-series order used in the Edmonton Section records (Series one), and a chronological order is maintained within each file. The records are in good physical condition.

The records in this series have been further described in the following four sub-series: Organizational Records; Calgary Office Administration files; Outreach and Publicity records; and Publications. This series is smaller than the Edmonton Section records, with the bulk of these records being publications. There are numerous issues of various Technocracy periodicals including Technocracy Digest (Vancouver), Northwest Technocrat (Seattle), and The Technocrat (Long Beach). A number of other publications and newsletters are also included. Of particular interest is a file of the Foothills Technocrat which was published by the Calgary Section. Besides publications, newsletters, articles, and clippings, there is a small quantity of the Section’s organizational records, office administration files, and publicity/outreach records. The financial/membership files are fairly complete for the years 1977-1991, and there is an interesting set of individual Technocrats’ correspondence and writing files.

The Calgary Technocracy Section appears to have begun operations prior to 1935, although the exact date is unknown, and they apparently disbanded in 1993. The records in this series complement the Edmonton Section records described in Series One.

The records are very complete, and have been subdivided into several sub-series to reflect the structure of the organization. Mel Hurtig was an early Chairman of the CIC, and there are files of flimsies that were sent to and from this office. As well, there is correspondence retained in alphabetical order by correspondent name or subject. Other sub-series include Operational files which includes executive board meeting documents; Communications, Project files, Local Chapter files; and a fairly extensive set of Issues files, The Issues files consist of CIC briefs and presentations, papers and talks prepared by Hurtig, information files, more in-depth research files and news clippings.

The records in this series provide an excellent overview of the CIC organization. The sheer breadth of the records suggests how very involved Mel Hurtig was with the Organization. His CIC Chairperson correspondence files document both the structure of the CIC, and the challenges faced in maintaining interest in and facilitating communication within a nationally-based association. The board meeting records are comprehensive, as are the CIC project files. The records related to local chapters are fairly sketchy, often just containing a newsletter sent to Mel in his role as Chairperson. The bulk of the records are in the Issues sub-series, and they provide the researcher with a wealth of information on what fuelled the Committee for an Independent Canada.

File titles were derived from original file titles.

The Postsecondary Learning Act of Alberta gives General Faculties Council (GFC) responsibility, subject to the authority of the Board of Governors, over “academic affairs” (section 26(1)) and to “provide for the granting and conferring of degrees, other than honorary degrees” (Section 26(1)(f). The Postsecondary Learning Act lists, among the duties of the Chancellor, “to preside over all degree-conferring ceremonies of the university and confer the degrees” (Section 9(1)).

The responsibility of GFC to provide for the conferring of degrees has been delegated to the Office of the President. The President has established a Standing Committee on Convocation, the purpose of which is to deal with all matters pertaining to convocation ceremonies in accordance with established practice.

The Office of the Registrar and Student Awards, Academic Awards and Ceremonies Office, is responsible for organizing convocation ceremonies. Detailed administrative procedures for convocation will be stored in the official Convocation Procedures and Reference Manual, in the Academic Awards and Ceremonies office.

The convocation event requires the participation of a number of university offices. Faculties administer graduating requirements; the University of Alberta Senate's Honorary Degrees Committee chooses the honorees for honorary degrees and is composed of a broad representation from the community, including a mix of the President; representatives from the academic community including Deans and/or Professors; and representatives from the Support Staff, the Alumni Association, the Students' Union, the Graduate Students' Association and the general academic community. The Office of the Registrar is responsible to complete the list of graduates, provide information for graduates, produce graduation diplomas, coordinate the printing of graduation programs, compile convocation statistics, and ensure issuance of degree parchments. The Academic Awards and Ceremonies Office (A.W.C.O.) within the Registrar’s Office arranges and completes the required activities to produce the formal ceremonies. These activities are the predominant source for the records in this series. The records are substantially textual and in a loose chronological order based on the order in each accession.

Includes minutes of the Committee on Convocation (1925-1953, 1976-1984).

Wilfred and Sheila Watson were apart for two extended periods: during the public school term in 1951-1952 when Sheila Watson was teaching high school at Powell River, and Wilfred Watson was teaching in the English Department at the University of Alberta (Calgary), and again during the spring of 1956 to the spring of 1961 (with periods together over Christmas and in the summers), when Sheila Watson was studying for her Ph.D. at the University of Toronto and Wilfred Watson was teaching at the University of Alberta (Edmonton). They wrote regularly, sometimes more often than once a day. Sheila Watson destroyed most of her letters to Wilfred Watson some years ago; some 350 remain and are in this series. There are over 950 letters from Wilfred Watson to Sheila Watson which survive and are in this series. They are always substantial in the details of daily teaching and living, but, more importantly, and most of the time, about the ongoing intellectual life and activities of both the correspondents. These are the years when Sheila Watson undertook important work on Wyndham Lewis, wrote most of her short stories, and made the final alterations to The Double Hook to meet the publication suggestions of McClelland and Stewart. They are years in which Wilfred Watson had become known for Friday's Child, and just completed his unpublished novel, Under the Rabbit's Paw, was engaging in the long labour to compolete his first, hihghly innovative and successful play, Cockcrow and the Gulls, was completing and seeing performed short works such as The Whatnot, was writing short stories and many poems, and was beginning work on The Trial of Corporal Adam. The letters provide a record, and a dazzingly written one, of all this activity as wall as the exchange of ideas between two people who both thought intensely, creatively, and playfully.
