Scope and content

This small series consists of miscellaneous correspondence files organized chronologically (1985-1991) and a small number of correspondence files arranged alphabetically by last name. Correspondence pertains to a wide range of matters, including departmental issues, reviews and feedback on the work of Simeon and his colleagues, letters of thanks, student supervision and personal matters.

Series also consists of several ‘organization’ files that Prof. Simeon kept in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Organizations include the American Political Science Association, the Association for Canadian Studies in the U.S., the Canadian Political Science Association, Ontario Law Form Commission, and the Public Rights Lending Commission. Files include correspondence, meeting minutes, brochures and other records.

Digital files in this series include general correspondence (emails) with various individuals relating to both personal and professional matters. Most correspondence has been saved in a general file, with separate files for emails from David Cameron, Christina Murray, and Jason Gluck. Organizational files pertain to The American Political Science Association (APSA) and include newsletters, workshop information, papers, notes and comments on others’ work, and administrative email. Series also includes some emails discussing the proroguing of Parliament in 2010, two documents relating to strategic planning by the Royal Society of Canada and emails and documents relating to the Sudanese Initiative for Unity through Diversity (SIUD).
