Scope and content
This series contains drafts, notes and correspondence relating to two books Prof. Harney was preparing before his death. The first of these relates to the history of Italians in Canada, to be prepared for the Generations Series of the Multiculturalism Directorate of Secretary of State of Canada. The files documenting this work include various drafts of chapters, and correspondence relating to the Generations project. Also included is the manuscript of From the shores of hunger: Italians in Canada. Essays by Robert F. Harney edited by his son Nicholas De Maria Harney, and published in 1993 under the title From the shores of hardship: Italians in Canada. Essays by Robert F. Harney by Centro canadese scuola e cultura italiana. This book contains essays previously published by Prof. Harney during the 1980s.
The files relating to Terra Incolta e ghiacciato. Aspects of Italian immigration to Canada contain drafts of articles previously published by Prof. Harney between 1974 and 1988. For example, “The commerce of migration” was reproduced in From the shores of hardship. This book of collected articles does not appear to have been published, and may have been an earlier version of his proposed book on Italians in Canada.
