Jai (Family)Records in the collection were created in 2024 over the October 26 and 27 weekend through the artist-led public program, Scent of Thunderbolts: Family Portrait Sessions, by artist Karen Tam, for her commissioned installation in the Toronto Biennial of Art.
Members of Chinese Canadian communities in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area were invited to participate in a family photoshoot within Tam’s immersive installation titled Scent of Thunderbolts 雷霆之息. Participants include members of the Toronto Biennial of Art. Portraits were taken by Toronto-based photographer, May Truong.
Scent of Thunderbolts used the form of a Cantonese opera to address Chinese diasporic sonic memory, drawing inspiration from archival collections, studio photography, and conversations with performers and community members to integrate reimagined elements from Cantonese opera, including props, stage settings, backdrops and furniture.
The family portrait sessions evoked the historic San Francisco photo studio, May’s Studio, that photographed Cantonese opera performers throughout the early-to-mid 1900s. The program invited participants to define what family and home meant to them through the act of having their photograph taken. They were asked to consider the meaning of “family” broadly, transcending immediate blood relations to include intergenerational extended families, chosen kin, and those with whom they shared home and time.
As part of Tam’s larger artistic practice and research, the collection of images had the expressed goal of being deposited in a community archive specializing in Chinese Canadian history, with participant consent.

Between 1989 and 2005, Canadian officials and academics undertook programs to promote cooperative security and later human security in the Asia-Pacific region. The defining feature of these initiatives was their emphasis on “Track Two” diplomacy – informal dialogues involving academics, experts, civil society groups, and officials in their private capacities. These initiatives aimed to broaden security discussions beyond military issues, foster dialogue, and strengthen Canada’s role as a constructive middle power. These efforts produced more than a dozen programs, working groups, dialogues, and collaborative research initiatives intended to deepen regional engagement and encourage multilateral exchange.
The earliest and most influential of these efforts was the North Pacific Cooperative Security Dialogue (NPCSD), which became a model for subsequent Canadian engagements. Over time, the scope of activities widened to include involvement in a range of institution building ventures such as the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific (CSCAP), the Canada–Korea Forum, and the Canada-Japan Symposium for Peace and Security Cooperation.
Several senior Canadian officials were engaged in these “Track Two” initiatives, including Senator Jack Austin, who encouraged the integration of scholarly research and policymaking. The Right Honourable Joe Clark, Secretary of State for External Affairs recognized the need to renew foreign policy thinking in the immediate post-Cold War era, as well as the importance of the Asia-Pacific region. Later, the Honourable Lloyd Axworthy, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, advanced Canada’s leadership in human security in the Asia Pacific region.
Three leading Canadian international relations scholars provided leadership and continuity for these projects, as well. Dr. Paul Evans, then at York University and later at the University of British Columbia was co-director of the NPCSD, and co-founded CSCAP, the Canada-Korea Forum, and the Canadian Consortium on Human Security (CCHS). Dr. David Dewitt, professor at York University and director of its Centre for International and Security Studies, co directed the NPCSD, and co founded CSCAP and CANCAPS. Dr. Brian Job, professor at the University of British Columbia, directed the Canadian Consortium for Human Security and played central roles in CSCAP at both the national and regional levels, and was co-chair of the Canada-Japan Peace and Security Symposium.
While the regional institutions established by these “Track Two” initiatives did not fade away after 2005, much of the financial support for these programs did, as Canadian officials shifted their foreign policy focus to the war on terrorism and the war if Afghanistan. In 2024, Dewitt, Evans and Job – drawing upon their firsthand experience – wrote a detailed account and analysis of these initiatives in a research report entitled Building Cooperative Security in the Asia Pacific: Canadian Track-Two Initiatives, which offered insight into this period of Canadian foreign policymaking, as well as the importance of “Track Two” diplomacy in building regional security.
Papers in this collection include the records of Evans, Dewitt, and Job, which document their role in Canadian international security policy development from 1988 to 2005, Track Two diplomacy research, the North Pacific Cooperative Security Dialogue (NPCSD), the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific (CSCAP), the Canada–Korea Forum (KCF), the Canada–Japan Symposium on Peace and Security Cooperation. These papers also include several publication series, such as Eastern Asia Policy Papers, North Pacific Policy Papers, and Canadian Consortium on Asia Pacific Security (CANCAPS) Bulletins. It also includes the research report entitled Building Cooperative Security in the Asia Pacific: Canadian Track-Two Initiatives written by Dewitt, Evans and Job outlining the various cooperative security initiatives in the Asia-Pacific from 1988 to 2005, and their involvement in same.

University of Toronto MississaugaThis fonds documents the life and career of Dr. Chandrakant Shah as a physician, researcher, professor, and advocate for social change. Records primarily focus on his research and writing activities, his work with Indigenous-focused programs and services including the Visiting Lectureship on Native Health and Anishnawbe Health Toronto, and his various advocacy initiatives. Records also document his numerous accomplishments including award nominations, retirement tributes, and publicity files of news stories about him.
Shah, Chandrakant P.Fonds consists of the personal and professional papers of Dr. Clarence B. Farrar. These records broadly document all aspects of Dr. Farrar’s long life - from his childhood in Cattaragus, New York during the 1870s to his active retirement in Toronto during the 1960s. Most of the records concern Dr. Farrar’s professional activities at Sheppard Enoch Pratt Hospital, New Jersey State Asylum, the Department of Soldier’s Civil Re-establishment, the Homewood Sanatorium, Toronto Psychiatric Hospital and the U. of T. Department of Psychiatry. Types of professional records include: administrative correspondence; research notes; lecture notes; patient files; brain slides; and photographs. Further, this fonds also contains Dr. Farrar’s correspondence with the greatest doctors and psychiatrists of his time - William Osler, Franz Nissl, Emil Kraepelin, C.K. Clark, and Edward N. Brush. This fonds also includes Dr. Farrar’s personal records such as photographs of and correspondence with family members and colleagues.
However, in addition, to documenting Dr. Farrar’s life, these records are also significant because they shed light on the history of Canadian psychiatry. Little is known about psychiatric teaching and clinical practice in the first half of the twentieth century. Dr. Farrar’s records therefore provide a much needed commentary on this period. Indeed, Dr. Edward Shorter, the Hannah Chair in the History of Medicine at the University of Toronto, writes: “Through Farrar’s long career in North American run some of the fundamental themes of psychiatry and the history of psychiatry … He participated intimately in these events and left us a full record” [1].
