David McKnight fonds
PS 8237 M6 D38 · Fonds · [197-]-2012

Fonds consist of David McKnight’s Canadian Little Magazine and Small Press archive, reflecting his interest in documenting the history of this genre of Canadian publishing, and include the pioneering work in the field done by Wynne Francis whose research files form part of the fonds. Through both of their collecting, the David McKnight fonds consists of materials which cover the history of Canadian small press publishing from 1923-2010.

The designation of the series was arrived at after considering the ordering of the material as it was received at Bruce Peel Special Collections. It was clear that there was an original ordering of the files, often according to an alphabetical or chronological scheme, and the files had titles. David McKnight separated his files broadly into those associated with his mentor and advisor, Wynne Francis, and his own research/collection files, and as much as possible, this structure is maintained. Series titles were arrived at after considering the collection in its entirety, and the apparent order implied by McKnight’s file listings and comments. The material was received in two shipments, but was intended as one donation, so some assignment of series and file titles, combining the material in the two shipments, was necessary. The records are almost all textual, although there are three microfilm reels, two cassette tapes, and two photographs.

Taking into consideration both the information provided by David McKnight in a letter to the Head of Bruce Peel Special Collections, and the contents of the records received, six series and several sub-series were established to better facilitate access to the collection.

A guestbook belonging to John D. Higinbotham that contains dozens of pasted-in newspaper clippings, letters, notes, and printed photographs. At the beginning of the guestbook, there is an inscription that reads “John D. Higinbotham from his sister Alice. May 1920.” The guestbook is full of signatures of various people along with their addresses, although some sections have been cut out of the book. Most of the pasted-in newspaper clippings, notes, and letters are adhered closest to the signed name of the person they are in reference to. The names signed in the guest book were signed between the years 1920 and 1939, although some of the materials are dated as late as 1946. Nearly every included letter and note is addressed to John D. Higinbotham.
