          Peter S. Schmalz fonds
          CA ON00031 A2010.099 · Fonds · 1844 - 2006

          This fonds reflects Dr. Peter S. Schmalz’s career as an educator, researcher and author from the late 1960s to early 2000s. He used these resources in the creation of a Master's Thesis, a Doctoral Thesis, numerous learned articles, several books, and reports for the Ministry of Natural Resources, First Nations communities, the provincial government and federal government. The focus of his research and writing concerned First Nations as well as Town of Walkerton history.

          This fonds includes over 700 published books (not including duplicates) which reflect Dr. Schmalz's primary interest in aboriginal contact with Europeans.

          The fonds also consists of documents related to the history of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation Territory (Saugeen First Nation and Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation) which reflect the communications and relationship between the First Nations and the Imperial and Canadian governments. These documents consist of photocopied records, many of which were copied from microfilm held by the National Archives of Canada, including material from NAC's reference number RG 10 (parts of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development fonds). Records also include microform, brochures, audiotapes and videotapes, newspapers and clippings, magazines and research cards.

          Material in the fonds also reflects the history and experience of First Nations across North America.

          The material further reflects Dr. Schmalz’s leadership in education, particularly as it relates to both the education of First Nation students and the education of others about the history of First Nations. Records relate to a co-operative education project, field archaeology and native studies summer course, as well as curriculum created by Peter Schmalz and other education resources.

          Dr. Schmalz’s work, activities and interests are also reflected through his correspondence, publications, theses, and essays.

          Finally, the fonds consists of articles, maps and original records reflecting Dr. Schmalz’s interest and research concerning the history of the Town of Walkerton and other regional history resources.

          CA ON00156 DA TD/CTLC · Collection · 2007

          This collection comprises documents received in response to an Access to Information request addressed to Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) by the Corporation of the Town of Deseronto, Ontario, in 2008. The request asked for copies of documentation submitted as part of the Culbertson Tract land claim of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte and upon which the decision to allow the claim had been based.

          The documents in this collection are all photocopies of materials located in public archives in Canada. The materials range in date from 1779 to 1959 and record the interactions between the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte and the British and Canadian governments, in relation to lands, from the time of their departure from the Mohawk Valley to the mid-twentieth century.

          The Finnish National Society of Sudbury fonds attests to the role of the Finnish National Society of Sudbury, at the regional and national level, in preserving the Finnish culture and also to their role in helping with immigrant adjustment. The records not only document the social and cultural activities sponsored by the group between 1930 and 1980, but also the administrative part of its existence.

          The fonds consists of incorporating documents such as the original charter of the Society, and the 1932 letter Patent for the Loyal Finns of Canada; membership records, minutes, financial records, correspondence, newsletters, plays and photographs. It also contains newspaper clippings and leaflets.

          CA ON00159 P032 · Fonds · 1848-2022

          The Diocese of Moosonee Synod Office fonds attests to the work of the administrative body that oversees Anglican missionaries and clergy within the Diocese of Moosonee. The fonds focuses on the James Bay area in northern Ontario and north-western Quebec, although records document the growing importance of communities south of the James Bay over the course of the 20th century. Early records document the work of Anglican missionaries such as John Horden, Thomas Vincent, James Edmond Peck, and G.W. Walton in communities such as Moose Factory, Fort George, and Fort Albany. Missionary accounts of the harsh climate and difficulties navigating the northern terrain are coupled with accounts of religious ceremonies and interactions between clergy and European settlers employed by the HBC in the fur-trade and other industries, as well as interactions with Indigenous populations, most notably the Cree, who were established in the Moose River region prior to the arrival of Europeans. Records contain missionary accounts of daily life in the north and focus on clergy members’ involvement in the community, their family life, administrative matters between the church and the HBC—Diocesan property was leased from the company initially—, trapping and hunting statistics, as well as the basic necessities for surviving the winter months; annual grocery and supply lists sent south are included. As the majority of the content was created by clergy, the records document a Eurocentric-Anglican perspective, although due to the substantial Indigenous population in the James Bay Area, many of the records document changes to Indigenous communities as a result of European contact. The fonds documents some of the earliest interactions between Anglican missionaries and First Nations, Inuit, and Métis populations, although records become more plentiful after the official creation of the Diocese of Moosonee in 1872. The records of various Bishops, Archdeacons, and clergy members illustrate the structure of the Anglican Church and the administrative interactions between the Diocese and the parishes that it oversees. Records also document the financial relationship between the Diocese of Moosonee and the CMS, the MSCC, and the Anglican Forward Movement. These associations provided financial support to Missionary Diocese of the Anglican Church.

          Changes in the social, cultural, and economic fabric of the many communities that make up the Diocese of Moosonee are also evident within the records. Records track the movement of communities including: Albany’s relocation to Kashechewan and Fort George’s relocation to Chisasibi. The rise in industrial interest in the north, especially in hard rock mining, followed by a boom in immigration to northern communities starting in the early half of the 20th century are reflected in the growing demand for parishes across northern Ontario and western Quebec. The Diocesan administration also wrote about and considered other matters including: changes to provincial education systems, municipal power initiatives, transportation, agriculture, and many other Municipal, Provincial, and Federal issues. Records also document broad shifts in policy concerning Indigenous populations from the signing of Treaty No. 9 in 1905 through the Indian Residential School era of the mid-20th century, the period of Indigenous emancipation starting in the 1960s, and the period of reconciliation in the early 21st century.

          The fonds consists of correspondence sent and received by clergy, including all Diocesean Bishops; meeting minutes from Diocesan Executives, Synods, and various other committees managed by the Diocese, as well as those meetings concerning individual parishes. Photographs depicting clergy, residents, towns, cities, cultural activities, hunting and fishing, religious ceremonies and celebrations, amongst many other activities, are included. Videotapes, as well as legal and financial records, missionary and Bishop’s journals, diaries, and account books document the foundation of the Diocese and describe the relationship between the Diocese, its parishes, and the communities to which those parishes serve. The records inform us of the administrative functions of the Synod Office including: hiring clergy and overseeing matters of finance. These records also illustrate the different networking relationships between the Diocese and the General Synod, the Diocese and churches of other denominations, and the Diocese of Moosonee and other Anglican Dioceses. Moreover, the records give insight as to the daily existence and development of the many communities within Northern Ontario and north-western Quebec that make up the body of the Diocese of Moosonee. Liturgical records of individual parishes are not found in this fonds.

          Fonds Roger St-Louis
          CA ON00159 P041 · Fonds · 1992-1997

          Le fonds Roger St-Louis est composé surtout de documents témoignant de sa participation au sein du conseil admisitratif du Collège Boréal. Les procès-verbaux et documents afférents des différents conseils et comités, les quelques croquis pour des soumissions de construction, les rapports, et des transcriptions de discussions téléphoniques et autres types de conversations, nous renseignent plus particulièrement sur les débuts du Collège Boréal, collège francophone ayant des campus satellites dans le nord de l'Ontario. Les procès-verbaux du conseil d'administration, sont souvent annotés et les dossiers contiennent des données sur l'enseignement collégial en Ontario français. Une des particularités des documents de ce fonds d'archives est que, dû à la surdité de monsieur St-Louis, de nombreuses conversations et discussions ont été transcrites en mode simultanée afin de permettre une compréhension et une participation aux discussions.

          Ernie Checkeris fonds
          CA ON00159 P111 · Fonds · n.d.; 1934-2000 (predominant 1955-1980)

          The Ernie Checkeris fonds attests to the role that Ernie Checkeris played in the growth of the Ontario education system, as well as his role in specific challenges and debates facing the system. The fonds contains published and unpublished reports, correspondence, newspaper clippings, books, transcripts of speeches, and photographs relating to education in local, provincial, federal, and global contexts. Additional material includes personal correspondence and documentation relating to Ernie Checkeris’ interests and activity in the community. The manuscript of his book Thanks Be to the Gods!: A Memory with hand-written notations is also included.

          The fonds also informs us of the changes and evolution of the education system in Ontario throughout the period of Ernie Checkeris’ trusteeship, with an emphasis on the specific challenges that would face the schools of the Sudbury region. Of particular insight is the centrality of issues related to the delivery of French language education and the challenges of bilingualism in the school system of Ontario and the Sudbury region.

          Specific documentation about education includes correspondence and unpublished notes regarding the 1968 Hall-Dennis Report, issues of multi-culturalism, bilingualism, and special needs education.

          Oiva W. Saarinen fonds
          CA ON00159 P123 · Fonds · n.d.; 1884-2013 (predominant 1920-2000)

          The Oiva W. Saarinen fonds attests to his research interests on the Finnish Communities in North America, as well as on the urban development of single-industry towns in Northern Ontario, and also to his documentary productions. It also informs us about Saarinen's involvement in different associations and organizations within the Finnish community of Canada. The fonds contains notes, articles, research papers and publications he produced in the course of his research activities, and documentation. Further to documenting the immigration of Finns to North America and Northern Ontario, and their role in the development of cities such as Thunder Bay and Sudbury, the studies, reports and photocopies of archival materials also cover the early settlements and economic activities of the different regions. For instance, in the sub-series “History of Finnish Settlement on Lake Panache,” lumbering, as well as environment aspects of the presence of the dam, land claims by Indigenous and their presence, are also addressed and documented. In the sub-series “Finns in the Sudbury Area,” the annotated maps, the assessment rolls, and lists from Vernon's, or reports on mining in the region, inform us about the Finnish community and their activities in the region. The short stories and testimonies, and recollections of members of the Finnish community in Sudbury, also provide significant primary sources of information.

          The papers and publications are divided in 3 Series: I: Oiva Saarinen publications; Series II: Books and other materials and Series III: Books and other materials on Economic and Urban Development. Series II is divided into 9 Sub-series:
          Sub-series A: Books and other materials on Finland;
          Sub-series B: Finnish-American Literature;
          Sub-series C: Vapaus, Foc, and other left-wing Literature;
          Sub-series D: History of Finnish Settlement on Lake Panache and materials related to Indian Land Claims;

          Sub-series G: Finns in Canada and in the United States (excluding Ontario);
          Sub-series H: Finnish-Canadian Ontario Material (excluding Sudbury);

          Fonds André Paiement
          CA ON00159 P124 · Fonds · 1956-1978

          Le fonds d’archives témoigne des activités de création et des réalisations d’André Paiement dans le domaine des arts et de la culture. Les documents illustrent aussi l’impact que ses réalisations ont eu sur la communauté franco-ontarienne et la communauté francophone du Canada. De plus, ce fonds d'archives documente les groupes au sein duquel Paiement a œuvré. Ainsi on y retrouve des documents de La Troupe de l'université Laurentienne, du Théâtre du Nouvel Ontario ainsi que du groupe de musique CANO.

          En effet, les dossiers documentent les créations littéraires d’André Paiement au sein de La Troupe de l’université Laurentienne et du Théâtre du Nouvel Ontario (TNO). De plus, les annotations des manuscrits des pièces de théâtre ainsi que les photographies documentent les différents rôles joués par Paiement, l’acteur. Les dossiers de presse témoignent du rayonnement d’André Paiement et des groupes avec lesquels il a œuvré (TNO et CANO-musique). On y retrouve entre autres, des photographies, programmes de pièces de théâtre, coupures de presse, mais aussi des notes manuscrites et textes du groupe CANO-musique. Les documents personnels tel que la correspondance, permettent une incursion dans la vie privée d'André Paiement. En effet la correspondance offre une autre perspective sur le cheminement d'André Paiement dans le monde de la création et favorise un aperçu d'André Paiement, l'homme privé.

          Fonds Lucien Pelletier
          CA ON00159 P126 · Fonds · 2004-2005

          Composé de l'enregistrement de deux entretiens avec Robert Dickson, d'une transcription de ces entretiens et d'un article à paraître, ce fonds d'archives témoigne de certains aspects des intérêts de recherche de Lucien Pelletier.

          En effet, les entretiens avec Robert Dickson, poète, récipiendaire du Prix littéraire du Gouverneur général 2002 en poésie, et professeur de littérature à l’université Laurentienne, ont été réalisés [mai et juillet 2004] dans le but de recueillir l'information nécessaire pour un article sur cet auteur, en abordant la perspective de la culture, et de l'échange culturel. Ainsi, Lucien Pelletier avait un plan d'entrevue pour ces deux entretiens.

          Cette entrevue, réalisée en deux rencontres, témoigne du cheminement et du positionnement de Robert Dickson, par rapport à la littérature et à l’expression de la culture canadienne française. Ainsi, le rapport Québec-Ontario français et les courants d’écriture ou d’expression littéraire, sont abordés tout au long de ces entretiens.

          Dickson parle de son enfance, de son éducation et des éléments qui ont eu une incidence sur son choix de vivre en français, bien qu'il soit d'une famille anglaise. De ses études à Toronto, puis à l'université Laval, en passant par ses séjours en France, et son arrivée à Sudbury, Dickson se raconte et cerne son cheminement littéraire et professionnel, tout en identifiant les gens et personnages qui ont eu une influence sur son écriture. Tout en discutant de ses écrits dans cette perspective, il parle aussi d’auteurs franco-ontariens tel que : Jean-Marc Dalpé et Patrice Desbiens, et du poète québécois Gaston Miron. Lucien Pelletier s’entretient aussi avec Robert Dickson d’autres aspects de ses activités dans le monde littéraire, tel que l'édition ou encore la traduction.

          L'article que l'on retrouve dans ce fonds d'archives est de Lucien Pelletier et sera publié dans un ouvrage collectif sur l'échange culturel. Cet article, pour lequel les entretiens avec Dickson ont été faits et enregistrés est intitulé : « La migration culturelle de Robert Dickson ».

          Fonds Guy Gaudreau
          CA ON00159 P143 · Fonds · 1974-1996 (surtout 1996)

          Le fonds d’archives composé d’un dossier de la Société Amicale Trillium, et d’un dossier de recherche, témoigne de l’implication de Guy Gaudreau dans la vie culturelle francophone de Sudbury et de ses activités et méthodologies d’enseignement. En effet, le dossier de recherche est composé des documents de recherche et des travaux des étudiants du cours sur l’histoire du Nord de l’Ontario. Lors de ce cours, Guy Gaudreau avait soumis comme projet aux étudiants, une recherche ayant pour but la publication d’un livre sur l’histoire de l’Association des étudiants francophones (AEF) de l’université Laurentienne. Ainsi on retrouve des dossiers composés de notes de recherche, transcriptions d’entrevues avec des acteurs-clés lors de la création de l’association étudiante, des originaux et copies de documents de l’AEF, ainsi que les travaux des étudiants. Les principaux thèmes traités sont : la constitution de l’AEF, le budget, les activités culturelles ainsi que les raisons de la création d’une association francophone et la réception faite à cette association sur le campus. Le dossier de La Société Amicale Trillium contient des demandes de subventions et états financiers de cette société, qui avait comme objectif, un festival du film.

          Fonds Albert Régimbal
          CA ON00159 P183 · Fonds · [ca. 1855]-1980

          Ce fonds, qui se compose majoritairement de correspondance, de notes de cours et de textes annotés, nous renseigne sur les différents aspects de la vie d’Albert Régimbal. Bien qu’il n’y ait pas de documents qui traitent de différentes activités séculières, ou de la période pendant laquelle il a travaillé au Collège Sacré-Cœur, les documents de ce fonds d’archives illustrent quand même les principaux intérêts de la vie d’Albert Régimbal.

          La correspondance témoigne des relations qu’entretenait Régimbal avec différents membres de sa famille et quelques amies, ainsi qu’avec les gens qu’il a rencontrés lors d’activités professionnelles. Les notes de cours et textes annotés, ainsi que les notes personnelles nous renseignent un peu sur la formation reçue par Albert Régimbal, en plus de ses convictions personnelles. Ces documents ont aussi servi à la rédaction de sermons et ceux-ci témoignent de ses activités en tant que prêtre. Certains de ces documents nous renseignent aussi sur les implications sociales d’Albert Régimbal auprès de groupes sociaux au sein desquels il s’est dévoué : par exemple, la Fédération des Francophones Hors-Québec et l’Institut confédéral d’étude et de formation syndicale. De plus, quelques-uns des documents et des photographies témoignent d’un voyage fait en 1970.

          Les dossiers de presse, les textes annotés ainsi que quelques-uns des livres et revues témoignent des mouvements sociaux, ainsi que des courants de pensées des années 1950-1960, qui ont à la fois marqué Albert Régimbal. À titre d’exemple : la voix ouvrière et du mouvement syndical.

          Le fonds Georgette Simard-Paquette témoigne des nombreuses activités bénévoles de madame Paquette et de son implication dans la communauté sudburoise. Les différents programmes d’évènements spéciaux, procès-verbaux, états financiers, rapports et photographies documentent la participation et l’implication de Madame Simard-Paquette au sein des divers organismes, mais nous renseignent aussi sur ceux-ci. Bien que ce fonds d’archives ne contient pas des documents de toutes les organisations au sein desquelles elle a été active ou participante, mentionnons entre autre, les états financiers et programmes du ‘Bal des petits souliers’ de la Ligue Jeunesse féminine. Il en est de même pour les nombreux documents du Centre des jeunes tels que rapports, états financiers, photographies, documents administratifs et aussi coupures de presse et programmes d’évènements culturels. Ces dossiers permettent non seulement de constater le rôle de Madame Simard-Paquette au sein de ces organismes mais nous informent aussi sur les activités et l’évolution du Centre des jeunes maintenant connu sous le nom de Carrefour Francophone. Les procès-verbaux des Auxiliaires du Club Alouette et les plaques honorifiques documentent les activités de celles-ci et nous informent sur le Club Alouette en générale. En effet les nombreux certificats honorifiques et articles soulignant ses différentes activités, réalisations et participations à des évènements sociaux témoignent non seulement de son implication sociale mais aussi de l’appréciation de son travail et de son continuel dévouement pour différentes causes à caractère social.

          De nombreuses feuilles de musique des années 1930 et 1940 (surtout de musique de film), et des publications anniversaires de certains groupes sociaux et des magazines complètent ce fonds d’archives.

          Simard-Paquette, Georgette
