The textual records in this series document the broader financial management of the Cooperative, and include audited statements, bank statements, budget-related documents and ledgers and financial journals (many located in an oversize box). The records are arranged in chronological order within each sub-series and are in good physical condition.
Finances were very important to the Cooperative, and records were kept for membership shares and levies; mortgage payments, maintenance costs, and the myriad of expenses involved in operating several houses within a Cooperative structure. This is the largest series, and the records provide a good overview of the financial structure of the Assiniboia Community Housing Cooperative.
The series title is based on the contents of records.
‘Historic records’ is a very small series, but interesting for its documentation of the early stage of establishing the housing cooperative. The records include correspondence, memoirs, conference information and news clippings. The files in this series were all originally titled ‘History/Archival’ and the papers are in good physical condition.
Three of the six files in this series relate to the Students’ Union Co-operative Housing Committee, headed by Students’ Union executive member Glenn Sinclair. This committee sought to encourage student-owned housing co-operatives, and played an important role in the establishment of the Campus Co-operative in 1967. The two files entitled ‘members’ words’ consist of miscellaneous papers and reports around memoirs and short histories of the Co-op written by past members. These files were retained by the Board of the Cooperative for their own reference. Finally, there is a file of copied news clippings of articles written about the Co-op, or of interest to the membership.
The series title is based on the contents of records.
The Assiniboia Cooperative produced their own newsletter which they titled The Cooper. The paper is sometimes annotated, and the issues vary in the quality of their condition.
This series is comprised of issues of the Cooperative’s newsletter, 1980-1985. It was an internal document, but included some advertising, and notices of community events. Each house in the Cooperative received issues for their residents to read, and it served as a means of advertising the Cooperative to any outside persons who picked up a copy of the newsletter.
The series title is based on the contents of records.
The textual records in this series document the various aspects involved with maintaining the Co-op houses, both rented and owned, by the membership and executive, particularly the General Manager.

This is a larger series and has been arranged in the following sub-series: Utilities; Taxes; Insurance; Rentals/City of Edmonton; Leases and Liaisons with the University of Alberta; House Maintenance; House Inventories; and Specific House records. There is detailed information about the insurance coverage the Cooperative had with the Co-operative Insurance Service (CIS), and information related to various programs (CHIP, RRAP, etc.) used to make improvements to Co-op properties. An interesting set of papers relates to the Co-op’s relationship with the University and issues around future development plans for North Garneau. Members of the Co-op sat as representatives on the North Garneau Management Committee, and lobbied for saving the University’s North Garneau houses from the bulldozer. The specific house records are interesting for what they reveal about life in a Co-op house; included in these files might be shopping lists, member advertisements, duty schedules, and maintenance records of activity.

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.
The series title is based on the contents of records.
Surveys, pamphlets, and papers produced by Prairie Province governments. Held within the Prairie Ephemera Collection.
The Hermes was a periodical student publication put out by the Nutana Collegiate Institute, a high school in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Nutana was the first public high school in Saskatoon and possesses a significant collection of early Canadian art. These publications are from various years between 1911 and 1931. They primarily consist of writing examples from students, and will also feature examples of the art collection, editorials, athletics reports, and advertisements for local businesses. All but the first volume are subtitled "Behold, I bring you good tidings."
The textual records in this series document the broader Department and Faculty records, and include minutes of Department meetings internal memoranda, Faculty newsletters, and committee documents. The records are arranged in chronological order within each sub-series and are in good physical condition.
The records in this series provide an overview of the Department of Chemistry and its place within the Faculty of Science. It includes documents created during Byron Kratochvil’s chairmanship of the Department, and includes also paperwork from committees he served on. The series, fairly small in extent, has been further organized into three sub-series: Department of Chemistry Correspondence and Meeting Minutes; Faculty of Science records; and Committee and Scientific Groups records. The largest sub-series is the Department records which include Departmental staff meeting minutes, internal memoranda and correspondence, reports and related meeting documents. This documentation is arranged in chronological order and is fairly complete for the years 1967 through 1989. The Faculty of Science records consists of Council meeting minutes and documents, reports, and newsletters. Finally, the Committee and Scientific Group records include the paperwork of a variety of University committees as well as records created by and for the Environmental Research and Studies Centre which undertook multi-disciplinary projects and involved communication between the University, government, industry and the public.
The records in this small series are in excellent physical condition, and consist of documents related to the consulting work Byron Kratochvil did as an analytical chemist. The contract work is sometimes associated with the university he is employed with, but often is a separate endeavor. The series is arranged chronologically by file.
This record series, consisting of only seven files, provides a record of the chemical analysis work Byron Kratochvil undertook. The most extensive records in this series revolve around his work for Syncrude and include files of correspondence, research reports, and information. There are also two files of information related to his study of Edmonton’s water supply and treatment plans.
The series title is based on the content of the records.
This is a small series consisting of records related to Byron Kratochvil’s personal student days, his copies of personnel-related papers and items he collected for their historical significance. Though personal in nature, the papers in this series are also very tied to his professional career and dovetail nicely with the earlier series in this fonds.
The following sub-series were established for this series of textual records: Byron Kratochvil as Student; Personnel-Related Records; Day Timers; and Collected Archives. There are only a few files in each sub-series; the collected archives include a 1907 chemistry text book, and W.E. Harris’s original teaching notes (written on index cards) and saved from a discard pile by Kratochvil.
Series consists of bound notebooks and catalogues, some in loose leaf form. Some notebooks are handwritten; most have been transcribed. The catalogues list in columns the flora and fauna observed on specific dates and locations. Soper illustrated some of the notebooks with colour pencil sketches and occaissionally pasted in a photograph. The notebooks are in roughly chronological order and document both his private naturalist studies and his professional work for the federal government and the University of Alberta. These books are the raw data of his work as a naturalist researcher in the Candian Arctic and Prairies.

The series consists of three audiocassettes. The cassettes concern interviews, demo tapes for commercial use and a song.
The records in this series span a range of years, with imprint collected from as early as 1915, to a Technocracy article published in the mid-1990’s. The photographs and films in the series are commercial productions, and all of the records are in good physical condition.
This series of records, grouped together under the broad banner of ‘Causes’ and Personal records, has been arranged in the following sub-series: Seniors’ Issues; Peace Issues; Human Rights and Social Justice Issues; and Other records which includes Soviet-Ukraine material and a small smattering of personal records. The records in this series highlight the many social and political causes Doug Tomlinson supported and actively participated in, and provide a good overview of the social climate in Alberta and Canada during the time period in which these records were created. Doug Tomlinson actively collected material from the USSR/Soviet Ukraine, and there is a fascinating set of photographs and 35 mm film produced from various sources, illustrating aspects of life in these regions during primarily the 1960’s.
Includes: ca, ,80 m of textual records, 15 films, 399 photographs.
File titles were derived from original file titles.
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.
File titles were derived from original file titles.
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.
File titles were derived from original file titles.
The records in this series are in excellent physical condition, and are primarily textual. They consist of Mel Hurtig’s book draft files, and include a published version of the book and post-publication review clippings.
Draft chapter files for four of Mel Hurtig’s books make up this series, including: The Betrayal of Canada, At Twilight in the Country, The Vanishing Country, and Rushing to Armageddon. 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.
File titles were derived from original file titles.
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.
File titles were derived from original file titles.
William Pearce began promoting irrigation development in 1885, when he first commented on its potential value in his annual report to the Deputy Minister of the Interior. This series of files documents his interest in irrigation between the years 1890 and 1927. It is probable that material prior to 1890 no longer exists. The surviving files offer evidence on the drafting of the Northwest Irrigation Act, the early development of significant irrigation projects, and the activities of related special interest groups. The series contains records concerning the Canadian Pacific Railway's irrigation project; the Pearce's Calgary Irrigation Company (1893); and his scheme to divert the North Saskatchewan to water land in eastern Alberta and western Saskatchewan. Mr. Pearce was an active supporter of the Western Canada Irrigation Association and left considerable correspondence concerning its activities.
The series title is based on the contents of records.
The series consists of six leatherbound books. Each letterbook numbers over 600 pages of handwritten correspondence. Correspondence represents copies of incoming and outgoing commmunication relating predomiantly to Pearce's professional work as a surveyor for the Department of the Interior. The hand copied letters are in chronological order and each letterbook has a subject index.
The series title is based on the contents of records.
William Pearce began his education in engineering in 1869 at the University of Toronto. After one semester he abandoned his studies at the University of Toronto to take a three-year surveying apprenticeship with Wadsworth and Unwing, a Toronto land surveying firm. During his apprenticeship Pearce worked on surveying assignments in the woods of northern Ontario. His apprenticeship inspired his life-long interest in natural resource and wilderness development, confirmed his professional surveyor's career, and brought him to Western Canada.
In 1873 Colonel J.S. Denis, Canada's Surveyor General, approached Pearce with an offer to join his staff in the newly-created Dominion Department of the Interior as it began to absorb the vast North American regions of Rupert's Land and the North-West Territories. Pearce began his surveying position in the Department of the Interior in Winnipeg, in May 1874. He was responsible to progress with surveys addressing what commonly known as the Outer Two-Mile claims. Under the Manitoba Act (33 Victoria, c.3, Canada, 1870) Metis land grants along the Red and Assiniboine Rivers included undetermined and pre-survey settlement claims. The Manitoba Act gave Metis settlers access to hay two miles beyond their defined holdings to feed their livestock. In the shifting settlements, squatting, and rampant land speculation, Pearce attempted to stake out these claims. The outer two miles question was not settled until 1877, and claims were not staked until 1881 (Dept. of the Interior Annual Report, Canada Sessional Papers, 1882). Following the outer two miles assignment, in 1878 Pearce moved on to locating township grids, surveying meridians in Manitoba, and determining the International Boundary in the Turtle Mountain area. In October 1881, Pearce accepted his recommendation as Inspector of Dominion Lands Agencies in the Dominion Lands Board. He moved into the position of Superintendent of Mines in 1884. He returned to a full-time surveying position when Clifford Sifton appointed him Chief Inspector of Surveys in 1901.
In 1904 Pearce left government service to join the Natural Resources Department of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The series therefore includes his reports on the placement of railway branch lines and his study of the possibilities for settlement of the Peace river and Athabasca River districts. His recommendations on both matters were based on the trained surveyor's detailed observations of the topography and prospective resources of the areas in question. He assisted in the establishment of professional standards for surveyors and served on the Examining Board for the Province.
The series includes 91 maps, most Mr. Pearce collected as working documents, with notes and observations. They include a track survey, drawn in the winter of 1878 using an upturned toboggan as a table; a sketch map of the Peace River district drawn for Mr. Pearce on two sheets of Hudson's Bay Company stationery; and the 3-mile and 6-mile sectional maps of the Department of the Interior. Two sheets of G.M. Dawson's maps are also in the diaries for 1915. These maps cover an inspection of Canadian Pacific Railway land grants.
The series title is based on the contents of records.
The records in this series document the activities and records of the Edmonton Regional District Technocracy section (#11353-A). The records have been arranged in five sub-series and a chronological order is maintained within each file. Two discrete accessions (96-123 and 93-20) are merged intellectually in this Series One listing, but remain physically distinct for storage reasons. The records are in good physical condition.
The Edmonton Section records in Series one form the bulk of the Technocracy fonds and are arranged in the following five sub-series: Organizational Records; Edmonton Office Administration files; Special Collections of Individual Members; Outreach and Publicity records; and Publications.
The Organizational records include the Certificate of Incorporation for Technocracy, Inc. and the bylaws and general regulations. Also included in this sub-series are the operating instructions, information directives, and general mailings sent to the Edmonton section from Technocracy Inc. headquarters. The Edmonton Office administration files consist of forms, authorizations, accommodation updates, monthly reports sent from the office to Continental Headquarters (CHQ), membership lists, correspondence files, and local office daybooks. The sub-series of Members’ special collections includes files maintained by individual Technocracy members, and might variably include correspondence, papers, collected articles and news clippings. The sub-series related to Outreach and Publicity contains information on outreach projects, news clippings and articles written about the movement, section newsletters and calendars, and a set of overhead projector teaching graphs used in public lectures and teaching sessions on Technocracy. The final sub-series, Publications, is the largest of the five sub-series, and contains several runs of Technocracy publications as well as bound volumes of the Technocracy Study Course publication.
The series title is based on the content of the records, and file titles are based on an original organization provided by Walt Fryers, an original charter member and Edmonton Technocracy contact person for the University Archives.
The series title is based on the contents of records.
The records in this series document the activities and records of the Calgary Regional District Technocracy section (#11451-A). 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.
