Scope and content

General correspondence, business files and various committee files document Prof. Conacher’s career in the Department of History. General correspondence covers the period just prior to his hiring in 1948 to his post retirement period up to 1988. Business files are specific to his time as Chairman and relate to managing budgets, general administrative issues and more specific issues being referred to the Chair by various departmental committees.

Finally there are files relating to 40 years of committee work within the Department many dealing with curriculum and the development of the graduate program including the 1968 Graduate Appraisal Committee on re-organization of the graduate department, the Dyck Committee dealing with student staff ratio (1973-1975), the Curriculum Committee (1948- 1966) and perhaps most importantly the Appointment and Tenure Committee (1960-1974). Correspondence and related documents from this last committee are boxed in B2005-0011/026.
