The records are textual, with one video tape recording, and are in excellent physical condition. The arrangement of the records is essentially chronological, with an original file plan followed for organizing a large section of the earlier records found in this series.

Series three consists of Peter Meekison’s Constitutional material and is further arranged within four sub-series. The first sub-series is arranged according to an original color-coded file scheme applied when the files were current. The color-coded files include briefing books, ‘process and position’ files, administrative arrangements, transcripts, reports and news articles, etc. related to various First Minister meetings, and committee meetings surrounding the constitutional reform discussions. Many of these files were created while Peter Meekison was Minister of Alberta Federal and Inter-Governmental Affairs and relate to the amending of the Constitution Act in 1982. A set of coded files is included in this series which addresses non-Constitutional issues his Ministry was dealing with. In his capacity as constitutional adviser to the provincial government post 1984, there is material related to the Senate Reform Task Force meetings, and the constitutional committee work leading to the Meech Lake Accord discussions and the 1992 Charlottetown Accord. Included in this series are numerous constitutional background material files which provide further insight into the constitutional process and debate, and numbered documents related to the 1992 Constitutional Accord.

Literary Drafts/Writings.
Series · 1939 - 1994
Part of Wilfred Watson Fonds

The records in this series include Wilfred Watson's files of manuscript and typescript drafts of his writing, and are organized in the following sub-series: Poetry; Plays; Short Stories/Novel; Essays; Books; Miscellaneous Papers; and Publications. Many of the drafts are on loose sheets of paper or in examination booklets (those that were filed in the notebooks remain as part of Series 1). Notebooks devoted solely to poetry are included with this series. A lot of the drafts are also typescripts prepared for Watson from his manuscripts and used in preparing work for publication. Play-scripts are often production copies and many have manuscript revisions made by Watson during the rehearsals of the play, in which he always collaborated closely. There are typescripts for the performed plays; manuscript drafts of all the plays can be found in the notebooks (Series 1). There are also typescripts for several plays neither performed nor published. Some of the files contain only fragments of writing, notes written on cigarette packages, and notes on small pieces of cardboard, which are retained with miscellaneous papers (2.6).

There are draft and final manuscripts and typescripts in the collection for nearly all of Watson's performed and/or published work as well as for many hundreds of unpublished poems, and for several plays and short stories. There are, for example, many typescript drafts of most of the poems in Friday's Child, and many of the poems in The sorrowful canadians and mass on cowback. There is also a complete typescript of a novel accepted by Faber and Faber in the late 1950s, but never revised for publication by Watson (Under the Rabbit's Paw; drafts of this novel are in the notebooks). Wilfred Watson published poetry and plays in literary journals throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. These publications are in this series, and published reviews of Watson's work are also included here.

Wilfred Watson and Marshall McLuhan collaborated on From Cliche to Archetype, a collaboration documented in this series (2.5). They wrote back and forth about the project from 1964 to 1969, sometimes letting it drop for awhile, sometimes writing every couple of days. There are 111 letters by Marshall McLuhan in this collection (letters not copied for the McLuhan archives at the National Library). There are copies of some 26 letters by Wilfred Watson to Marshall McLuhan; drafts of more of his letters can be found in the notebooks. There are also rough manuscript drafts numbering in the hundreds of pages of Watson's contributions to the book, as well as many notes of ideas, often diagrammed. There are up to three typescript versions of different portions of the book, with a complete typescript of the first draft which, the two agreed, would be Wilfred Watson's responsibility. The record provides considerable insight into, first, Watson's engagement with and contribution to McLuhan's work; second, the working out of the collaboration between them; and third, the development of an important work in the growing oeuvre of both Watson and McLuhan.

Council of Canadians (COC).
Series · 1974 - 2004
Part of Mel Hurtig fonds

Mel Hurtig’s Council of Canadians (COC) records are quite extensive, reflecting his close ties with the organization, and the fact that the Council’s existence is on-going. While most of the material is textual, there are some COC posters and artwork listed at the end of this series. The material is in good physical condition.

Mel Hurtig founded the Council of Canadians and served as Board Chairman, and his correspondence files are thick with incoming and outgoing letters. As well, he maintained files of COC Board meeting documents for the years he was actively involved on the Board. The COC files Hurtig maintained have been further described as Communications and Promotion; Chapter records; Financial; and Policy/Issues. The bulk of the records are in the category of Policy and Issues, which includes speeches, research and information files, major research topic files, and news clippings. The major issue confronted by the COC was Canada’s proposed Free Trade Agreement with the United States. The COC campaigned widely against the signing of any such agreement, and the records are filled with the Organization’s background research, policy statements, speeches, and writings on the topic. The COC also partnered with groups like the Pro-Canada Network to oppose Free Trade initiatives, and this ‘joining of forces’ is reflected in the records. A final sub-series includes COC posters and artwork, often over-sized, and used for a variety of purposes.

Politics.
Series · 1969 - 1995
Part of Mel Hurtig fonds

The records in this series are in excellent physical condition, and are primarily textual. They consist of Mel Hurtig’s personally maintained files, including correspondence and research records. Included also are a few National Party posters and a set of charts and graphs used in N.P. talks about Canada’s economy. Related audio-visual material is listed separately at the end of the finding aid.

This record series, although relatively small, provides a fascinating glimpse into the political career of Mel Hurtig, and the dramatic rise (and fall) of a Federal National Party – the National Party of Canada. There are a few files of records related to Mel Hurtig’s association with the Liberal Party of Canada, and his run for office in the 1972 Federal Election, but the bulk of the records relate to the National Party of Canada. Mel Hurtig, as a founder and first leader of the National Party of Canada, was at the center of the National Party’s establishment, and a driving force in organizing candidates from across the country to run in the 1993 Federal Election. Soon after the election, the Party experienced a great amount of internal struggle and stress, leading to the eventual demise of the party; again clearly reflected in this series of records.

The draft chapters are often a combination of hand-writing and typescript, and are annotated with inked corrections. A final published version of the book (usually in both soft and hard cover) forms part of the series, as well as post-publication publicity and promotion documents.

Personal Papers.
Series · 1924 - 2004
Part of Mel Hurtig fonds

The records in this series are in excellent physical condition, and consist of textual records, photographs, books and a few graphic items. They have been arranged in a basic alphabetical order within distinct sub-series titles. The photographs are listed in chronological order, with several of the photographs maintained in oversize storage. The books, as well, are arranged in chronological order by date of publication.

This record series, although relatively small, provides a fascinating glimpse into Mel Hurtig’s personal life, particularly focusing on his activities post-businesses and post-CIC, COC, and National Party. There are records related to family and personal business, as well as a series of personal correspondence and clipping files. Of particular interest are the sub-series of printed e-mail communications which date from 2000 through 2004. While not strictly personal, the e-mails capture the issues and topics of interest and concern to Mel Hurtig in recent years. His opposition to air-missile defense initiatives and his rallying of prominent as well as not so prominent Canadians to promote this position is well-documented with the e-mails. There is a sub-series of Canadiana books, often signed by the author, and frequently containing a reference to Hurtig in the book. The photographs span a period of over six decades and include family pictures as well as photographs related to his publishing and political/activist career.
