Series 3 consists of J. Peter Meekison’s constitutional material, documenting his role as Minister of the Alberta Government Department of Federal and Inter-Governmental Affairs, and his subsequent work as a Constitutional Adviser for the Alberta Government. 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.

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.

Series · 1907 - 1995
Part of Byron Kratchovil fonds

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.

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.

Writing.
Series · 1991 - 2004
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 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.

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.

Irrigation.
Series · 1890 - 1927
Part of William Pearce Fonds

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.

Surveys.
Series · 1878 - 1928
Part of William Pearce Fonds

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.

Series · 1933 - 1997
Part of Technocracy fonds

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.

Series · 1935 - 1993
Part of Technocracy fonds

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.

The series title is based on the contents of records.

Parker Social Credit Papers

The donation of the family of Frank and Mary S. Parker, these scrapbook collections of newspaper articles, greeting cards, and photographs cover four (4) decades of Alberta political history, seen from inside the Social Credit party.

All of the letters in this collection are addressed to Irma Breadner, employee of Don Stanton's General Store of Westlock, Alberta, from her friends and family. The letters span the years 1941 through 1948, but the bulk were sent in the years 1944 and 1945. Together the letters offer an intimate view of Wartime as it was experienced by Central Albertans. Breadner's correspondents include servicemen and women working overseas, her sister, Jean, building airplanes in Ontario, and many Albertan women getting their educations or helping their families with the harvest against the backdrop of the final years of the Second World War. The collection also includes cards, postcards, pay stubs and a church program.
