Scope and content
Flavelle bio. (A Canadian Millionaire) research material. 24 files of research notes, correspondence, photocopies, working papers etc. Includes researchers’ work on the family and early Peterboro history, the Scott act controversy of the mid-1880s; my interviews on Flavelle; extensive clippings from farm periodicals on the pork packing industry in Canada; files on J.W. Allison and Sam Hughes; the bacon scandal 1917; my notes from family correspondence – the Barrett Papers – which have since gone to Queen’s; various miscellaneous and retrospective notes, letters, etc.
Flavelle originals – 1 folder with 3 original JWF letters and one page of 188_ accounts in JWF handwriting
(This is material remaining after a major culling of my files, that included disposing of large quantities of photocopies made from the Flavelle Papers at Queens and the Imperial Munitions Board papers at the National Archives. What remains is material that could not easily be culled from those collections, indeed often comes from a wide variety of other sources, some of which, such as corporate minutes, may be virtually impossible to track down otherwise)
