The minutes and attachments inform us on what was the school system in the past and its mechanisms for decision making; the records also put into light the characteristics of each district. In addition, the minutes inform us on the harmonization of two language groups. Documents found in some districts are only in French while in other districts they are only in English, and for others the documents are in both languages. Not only do the records inform us on the community, but also on its participation and involvement in the school system. The participation of parents and teachers is illustrated through the minutes of the parent/teacher association (PTA). The financial documents depict the financial administration and the funds available at the time. One can find information about the expenditures for the purchase of supplies and furnishings. The salary increases of the School Board employees are well documented in the accounting books. In addition, documentation can be found on the school activities of certain districts. The photographs add to the information contained in the documentation of certain schools of the McKim District.

This fonds, documenting the labour movement within education, presents a comprehensive picture of OSSTF affairs and organizing procedures from 1920-1968. Specifically, although not without exception, the records highlight OSSTF activities in Districts 28 and 29, jurisdictions which encompass most of Northeastern Ontario. Many papers represent correspondence to and between the Provincial Executive, the District Secretaries and the membership at large. Meticulous accounts of membership totals and dues illustrate the constant drive for membership participation through the years, and the financial records illustrate the success of this drive. Some very lively correspondence written by the Provincial General Secretary and the Provincial Treasurer, both of whom served in these positions from 1924-1947, is testament to their enthusiasm and convictions. Researchers interested in the OSSTF response to the loss of 600 teachers to the armed service during WWII, to the matter of child poverty, to the School Law Amendment Act of 1938, and to cases of professional difficulty will find the records rich in documentation.
