The records of the Florence Isabella Craig fonds attest to her career as journalist, editor, and author. Moreover, they document the period of WWII and of the contributions of women in the labour force.

Many of the research notes and typed articles are scripts or background information for Clare Wallace’s radio programs and cover various subjects such as weather phenomenon, birth control, history of well-known Canadian families, medical issues, fashion, mine sites, and even finger prints and ‘Black Magic.’

The scrapbooks contain clippings of articles written by Craig for the Toronto Star, the Sudbury Star, and Fore Sight, but also publicity images mostly depicting the role of women in the labour force during WWII.

The fonds also includes research notes, drafts, and different proofs of the book Craig wrote with Clare Wallace, as well as for other books she worked on. There are also notebooks with her poetry.

The Shirley K. Wigmore fonds consists of textual records and photographs that attest to Wigmore’s early life and education, as well as her professional research into adult education during her tenure at OISE.

The fonds contains three photocopied texts: one handwritten account titled “Memories” and two articles written by Wigmore during her time at OISE.

The fonds also contains seven black and white photographs which serve to support the biographical information and research interests presented in the textual records. Three group portraits from KLCVI are included, emphasizing Wigmore’s roots in Northern Ontario, as well as one professional group portrait (likely at OISE).
