Wilfred Watson fonds

  • CA UOFA uofa-2637
  • Fonds
  • 1946-1998

The Wilfred Watson fonds span a period of over fifty years, and provide a record of the creative processes of a noted Canadian poet, playwright, teacher and literary theorist. The records have been arranged in eight series: Journals and Notebooks; Literary drafts/Writings; Sketches/Artwork; Correspondence; Student Records; Reference Material; Personal Papers; and Audio-Visual Records. Watson's notebooks are filled with drafts of plays and poems, ideas for further development, excerpts from his own reading, sketches, and jottings about his daily activities. The correspondence is arranged alphabetically by correspondent and includes an important sub-series of letters written between Wilfred and Sheila Watson. The Literary drafts and Writings Series is significant as often several different versions of a particular poem or even an entire play are present in the files. The writing files take on added significance since they provide evidence of, as Wilfred Watson was once described, "a prolific poet who publishes little".

Violet Archer fonds

  • CA UOFA uofa-2638
  • Fonds
  • 1920-2000

The Violet Archer fonds provide a valuable record of the composing, research, teaching and life experiences of a noted University professor and internationally recognized composer of music. The fonds is unusually complete, with intact records that illustrate both professional and personal facets of her life. Two large series were determined, that of professional and personal papers, and several sub-series delineated within each of these two series. The professional papers form the largest series; sub-series designations within this series are based on the contents of the records, and are often chronological in terms of order within each sub-series. These include student records (Archer as student); teaching records chronicling her years on faculty at North Texas State College, the University of Oklahoma, and the University of Alberta; correspondence files; composing records; and reference records. The composition and composing sub-series of records is further organized into performing rights organization records, music publishers contracts and correspondence, conference and workshop records, performances, honors and awards, and original Archer compositions. A significant number of her compositions are represented in these holdings, and provide evidence about the steps involved in creating a piece of music from manuscript beginnings to a final published piece of music. Series two, Violet Archer's personal papers, include extensive correspondence files; particularly significant are the incoming and outgoing correspondence with her younger sister Carolyn. The letters to and from Carolyn document the emotions, struggles, triumphs and challenges she faced as a woman functioning in a male-dominated field and time period. Rounding out the personal records in Series two are other correspondence files, financial records, insurance records, artwork and photographs. The completeness, extent, and condition of the Violet Archer fonds ensures its strong informational and evidential research value.
