Le fonds d’archives du Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario (TNO) témoigne des différentes activités et réalisations de la compagnie de théâtre depuis ses tout débuts, tout en nous renseignant sur les transformations et l’évolution de cette compagnie théâtrale. De plus, les documents reflètent l’essence même propre au TNO, ainsi que sa culture organisationnelle.

À ce titre, on y retrouve des dossiers témoignant du mouvement ayant mené à la création de la troupe de théâtre. Ainsi, il y a des dossiers sur les pièces de théâtre crées et jouées à l’université Laurentienne, les journaux étudiants, tout comme des dossiers sur les diverses personnes ayant un rôle direct ou indirect dans la naissance du TNO. Le fonds d’archives témoigne aussi des gens qui ont oeuvré au sein de la compagnie de théâtre, et de l’implication du TNO auprès de la communauté franco-ontarienne, de son rayonnement et de son impact plus spécifiquement à Sudbury.

En effet, le fonds d’archives contient les dossiers des différentes sphères d’activités inhérentes à une compagnie de théâtre. Ainsi, les procès-verbaux des différents comités administratifs, la correspondance, les demandes de subventions, l’embauche du personnel, et les démarches pour assurer la promotion des programmes saisonniers tout comme les différents rapports d’activités documentent la gestion des ressources financières, mais aussi l’évolution de la compagnie de théâtre. On y retrouve également les documents traitant des changements de sa structure, ainsi que des projets en collaborations avec d’autres organismes du milieu artistique et culturel. Le fonds d’archives comprends aussi les bilans financiers pour chacun des spectacles.

Les différents dossiers de production et création artistiques contiennent des renseignements sur la production et diffusion des différents spectacles du TNO, spectacles de poésie, pièces de théâtre, soit pour toutes les pièces jouées au TNO ainsi que celles produites par le TNO, et ce tant par la troupe professionnelle que communautaire. On retrouve d’ailleurs les dossiers de presse pour les pièces de théâtre présentées ou encore sur les auteurs des pièces. Le fonds d’archives contient également les ententes contractées pour les tournées, mais aussi sur la scénographie, et l’adaptation de certains textes et les éléments de la mise en scène. Il en est de même pour les aspects techniques tel que l’éclairage et les décors. Ainsi, parmi ces dossiers il y a les croquis pour la marionnette Médéric Boileau, dans la pièce La vie et les temps de Médéric Boileau, les esquisses de décor ou encore d’affiches publicitaires. Les différentes tournées tant en Europe qu’au Canada-français, et les tournées des pièces pour enfants, dans les écoles du nord de l’Ontario français sont également bien documentées. Les dossiers de promotion des pièces pour enfants, la correspondance avec les intervenants scolaires et les dessins d’appréciation des enfants permettent une vue d’ensemble de ce type de production théâtrale du TNO.

On y retrouve également des créations littéraires. Parmi celles-ci, il y a des textes d’André Paiement pour lesquels on y retrouve les versions, les notes et commentaires de différents intervenants ayant participé à la création collective de certains de ces textes de pièces de théâtre. Mentionnons aussi les écrits des artistes invités en ‘résidence’ pour lesquels il y a plusieurs des créations littéraires lors de leur séjour au TNO. Le fonds d’archives contient aussi des poèmes inédits de Jean-Marc Dalpé, mais aussi des notes, commentaires, synopsis de différents intervenants impliqués directement ou indirectement dans des productions du TNO. À ce titre, des notes d’appréciation ou encore d’explication de Pierre Gravel, Michel Ouellette, ou encore des commentaires ou présentations de Brigitte Haentjens en tant que directrice artistique ou metteur en scène, ou des notes, de la correspondance ou journal de voyage d’acteurs ou d’actrices en tournée ou des gens de l’équipe, sont aussi compris dans le fonds d’archives et témoignent non seulement d’une culture artistique mais aussi d’un vécu d’individus impliqués dans le milieu culturel franco-ontarien.

Le fond d’archives contient également de nombreux témoignages de l’interaction entre le TNO et d’autres organismes à caractère culturel tel que: Les Éditions Prise de Parole, ou encore la Galerie du Nouvel Ontario, mais aussi de compagnies de théâtre franco-ontariennes ou du Canada-français et même d’outre-mer. À ce titre, on retrouve aussi les documents d’incorporation de la Coopérative des artisans du Nouvel Ontario (CANO) ainsi que la correspondance, et la publication de celle-ci, Journal de Bord qui était publiée par Yvan Rancourt. Il en est de même pour l’association du TNO avec La Slague, plusieurs dossiers documentent cette période de la compagnie de théâtre. Des croquis, des documents d’architecture d’études de marché témoignent des différents projets de regroupement d’organismes culturels et documentent les démarches pour l’obtention de la salle actuelle du TNO.

On retrouve aussi des dossiers de documentation qui attestent de la participation active du TNO dans la communauté francophone de Sudbury, lors de festivals ou d’évènements communautaires, mais aussi du soutien de la communauté envers le TNO.
