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.

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.

The United Steelworkers of America (USWA) Timmins Office fonds attests to all activities, realizations, battles, struggles and achievements of the Union in the area. Although the fonds contains very few records from the first years of its presence in the regions of Timmins and Kirkland Lake, it still attests to the significant role the Union played in the area. Informing of the staff representatives’ responsibilities and services provided to the Locals, the USWA Timmins Office fonds also illustrates the different administrative functions of the Office.

In fact, some records, such as charters, by-laws, nomination forms, vote ballots and procedures for election, are indicative, not only of the process of affiliation of Locals to the USWA, but also of their duties. Minutes books, correspondence, financial statements and due journals give a better sense of understanding of the Timmins Office’s governing role. It also documents the coordination and administration of Locals’ activities. The fonds contains records in regard to the role of the Office with the Locals under its responsibility.

The USWA Timmins Office fonds also contains records in regard to tasks involved with the administration of the spaces and properties owned by the Union. Minutes of the Building Committee, appraisals and plans illustrate management, renovation and maintenance activities but also attest to their patrimonial value. Other records are indicative of the active involvement of the staff and Locals’ representatives, both in the social and political spheres. Plaques, correspondence and photographs, are testimonies not only of the Union’s participation to the erection of memorials for miners and the organization of the Day of Mourning, but also of the support to social groups such as Victims of Mining Environment and local food banks. Moreover, correspondence files and briefs attest to the lobbying efforts with the provincial and federal governments in regard to labour legislations, more specifically in the Health and Safety field. Some records are indicative of the Union’s official identification over the years; many artefacts, leaflets and newsletters bearing the USWA logo attest to the promotion of the Union and its public image. Booklets and other material published by the Union inform not only of the duties and responsibilities of staff positions, but are also indicative of the USWA’s role in educating and training its staff and members. A large number of documentation attests to battles and disputes involving the Union against the membership or the companies. Correspondence and related documents in regard to the merger of IUMMSM and USWA, are also included.

Certification and membership files, including seniority lists, organizer’s report and OLRB forms, are indicative of the organizing activities and development of membership as well as the process of affiliation to the USWA. These documents also inform of jurisdictional disputes against other unions. Numerous correspondences, union-management meeting minutes, policies and procedures attest to daily negotiations between the staff representatives and the companies in regard to the protection of the membership’s working conditions. Also, a large number of notes, proposals, memos, amended articles and agreements outline the process of collective bargaining. These files are quite complete and cover a long period of time. Moreover, incentive agreements, correspondence and job descriptions contained in the layoff files inform of the different steps of a company closure and measures put in place to encourage training and rehabilitation of employees. Also, the USWA Timmins Office fonds well documents the creation and implementation of procedures and legislations to protect the members from health and safety hazards. Minutes of Joint Health and Safety committees, inspection reports and documentation illustrate the commitment of staff and Locals’ representatives to work with the companies in order to provide a safe working environment.

The records from the Victims of Mining Environment (VOME) fonds include their constitution, correspondence, minutes, testimonies, photographs and newspaper clippings. The documents are directly related to the organization of VOME, and the campaigns of the group.

The documents inform researchers about all the campaigns and activities of VOME, and also about health-related work conditions on mine sites. This fonds highlights the determination of a group of women, mostly widowed, who fought on behalf of the widows and families of miners who died from industrial-related diseases and had not received any compensation. The fonds contains records that provide information about the leadership of Jeanne Larcher, who was instrumental in building this grassroots group. The records document the role of VOME in pressuring the Workers' Compensation Board to broaden the recognition of job-related diseases, and allowed for compensation to be awarded to surviving spouses and families. VOME's close working relationship with the Steelworkers Union and the Provincial NDP Party, and their contributions to the Ham Enquiry, the Minister of Labour, and the Workers' Compensation Board are also well documented.

The Nels Thibault fonds consists of correspondence, copies of speeches, submissions and reports, election materials, photos, the Charter of the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers (IUMMSW), a delegate’s ribbon, newspapers, and newspaper clippings, among other types of records.

The records of this fonds provide an account of Nels Thibault’s professional activities over the years. They attest to the interests and activities of Thibault in his capacity as President of both the Local 598 and the Canadian office of IUMMSW, as well as to IUMMSW public events and activities. Personal and official correspondence between Thibault and other union members, as well as his speeches, press releases and election materials document the difficult years of factionalism and animosity between members of the IUMMSW and the United Steelworkers of America (USWA) in Sudbury during the early 1950s and 1960s. Events preceding and during the 1967 merger of these two unions are also detailed. Files from Nels Thibault’s activities as member of Task Force Committees, commissions and also as a USWA representative both in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, inform on his realizations. The correspondence outlines his role with the Manitoba Federation of Labour, but also his wider activities within the world of trade unionism.

Fonds Jocelyne Villeneuve
CA ON00159 P036 · Fonds · 1974-1997

Les documents de ce fonds d'archives témoignent des réalisations, des activités et intérêts de Jocelyne Villeneuve. Ses cahiers de presse, en plus de documenter sa carrière d'écrivaine, témoignent de la reconnaissance qu'elle a eue auprès du public, mais aussi des liens qu'elle avait créés avec le milieu littéraire. Ainsi, les nombreuses lettres et poèmes reçus ou encore dédiés à Jocelyne Villeneuve en sont une preuve. Il y a aussi plusieurs coupures de presse, communiqués de presse, lettres et autres informations sur la maison d'Éditions Prise de parole. Son implication dans le milieu nous est révélée par le cahier "compilation" dans lequel on retrouve des dessins et lettres d'étudiants d'une école primaire où elle donnait des ateliers sur l'écriture. Le fonds d’archives contient aussi les versions des différents écrits de Villeneuve, sa correspondance avec les maisons d’édition, avec des écrivains avec qui elle a développé des liens d’amitié. De nombreuses fiches de recherche et de la documentation sur des thèmes précis documentent la recherche faite par l’auteure pour l’écriture de ses récits et autres textes. Mentionnons aussi que certains dossiers abordent plus spécifiquement les problèmes de santé de Madame Villeneuve.
