Fonds consists of documents relating to the Zola Research Program and the publication of the 10 volume "Émile Zola Correspondance" series, including project files, inventories, reference materials, photocopies of Émile Zola’s correspondence and other documents related to the project. The project files contained in this fonds document the development and activities of the Zola Research Program. Project files records include inventories of various letters, funding information, budgetary forms, donor agreements, publicity documents and summaries of the project written both by external entities (newspapers) and internal figures (members of the Program staff). Also included are supplementary documents that were collected to create a broader contextual framework. Each letter is be supported with annotations and background information on the correspondents, events or people discussed in the letters as well as the social and political state of France during the 19th century. While the collection of letters by Zola was the primary mandate of the project, along the way the Program collected a vast number of reference materials to broaden the perspective. This fonds contains the off-prints, various documents (both collected by Zola and collected by the Zola Research Program about various 19th century figures) and bibliographies. Books collected by the Program are now the basis of the Émile Zola Collection in the Rare Book Collection of Kelly Library.
The correspondence is composed mostly of photocopies of handwritten letters, post cards, cartes de visites, telegrams and typed transcriptions of letters. The correspondence is a mixture of professional and personal letters that discuss various matters from the publication of Zola’s main works to the birth of his children. It is clear from the various handwritings and documentation styles that multiple figures were involved in the processing of the letters. However, as a Research Associate and long-term member of the team, Dorothy Speirs was the primary figure creating, processing and cross-referencing the letters. This can be seen through the presence of her initials on most of the documents. Additionally, as Project Archivist Hélène Issayevitch organized the letters and maintained the record-keeping practices throughout. It is important to note that after the dissolution of the Zola Research Program in 1995, Speirs continued collecting reference materials and adding them to the collection. As a result, there are a number of documents contained within that extend outside the dates of the Program. The result of this continued research is an additional publication completed in 2008, in association with Owen Morgan.
This collection remains the largest repository of Émile Zola’s letters available in North America. In recent years, the descendants of Zola have divided the estate, including the letters, resulting in a dispersal of the documents. This collection represents the largest single collection of Zola’s letters that is accessible and open to the public. Additionally, this fonds contains a fountain of information on key figures in the Naturalist Movement of the 19th century, as well as other well-known artists, scholars, intellectuals and political and social figures, including J.K. Huysmans, Edmond de Goncourt, Gustave Flaubert, Édouard Manet, Alfred Bruneau, Paul Alexis, Henry Céard, Léon Hennique, and Guy de Maupassant - all of which can be found either through personal discussions in the letters or supplementary documentation. The hidden value in this fonds lies in the plethora of reference resources that are available. The fonds also houses a vast number of off-prints that explore various aspects of Zola’s life as well as the broader Naturalist community of the 19th century. Some other significant pieces include original 19th century illustrated theatrical pamphlets from the Théâtre Libre, various original newspaper clippings and original letters by Émile Zola, Alexandrine Zola, Paul Alexis and Jules Claretie.

Sans titreComposé 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 ».
