Personal and biographical

This series consists of Dr. Mastromatteo’s biographical and personal records. They document his career, personal life, and professional and personal relationships. This series also contains many files documenting studies, projects and issues that Dr. Mastromatteo included with his personal files. Record types include curriculum vitae, correspondence, photos, cards and certificates, articles, pamphlets, reports, notes, forms, minutes and projector slides.

The material is arranged into two sections. The first section contains personal records, career records, records documenting relationships, education records, and general files. The records are arranged in that order and filed chronologically within each of those sub-sections. The second section contains files on specific work projects or issues and is arranged chronologically.

General and administrative files

This sub-series documents NiPERA’s communications, meetings, participation in conferences, as well as general and specific administration activities. Record types include notes, drafts, papers, correspondence, minutes, reports and memoranda.

These records are arranged with general files at the front, followed by general correspondence, annual meetings, other meetings and conferences, bulletins, chairman’s reports, subject files and assorted documents at the end. Each of these sections is arranged chronologically, except for the subject files, which are arranged alphabetically.

Projects and case studies

This series documents projects Dr. Mastromatteo worked on throughout his career related to occupational health. Dr. Mastromatteo worked on some projects as an independent consultant, some as part of a professional association, and some through his professional roles, mainly his role with Inco Ltd. There is a fair amount of material on the Canadian Public Health Association Indal project, which is also documented extensively in series 5.

Record types include notes, drafts, papers, reports and correspondence.

Chemical files

This series comprises a collection of files that were mostly likely used by Dr. Mastromatteo as reference files, although it is possible these files were assembled by the scientists and occupational physicians who originally arranged the material. Each file is a collection of relevant material related to a certain chemical and can include fact sheets, research papers, research notes and manuscripts, reports, or correspondence and memoranda.

Subject files

Like the chemical files, the subject files were most likely used by Dr. Mastromatteo as reference files, although it is possible these files were assembled by the scientists and occupational physicians who originally arranged the material. Each file is a collection of relevant material related to a certain subject and can include notes, drafts, papers, correspondence, reports, publications and memoranda. Subjects range from workplace hazards to social issues, to preventative efforts/initiatives in the workplace, diseases, legislation, specific work activities and ethical issues in medicine.

Legal case files

This series documents legal cases Dr. Mastromatteo was involved in, usually in the form of providing testimony as an expert witness. All of the cases in this series are related to workplace illnesses and injuries.

Record types include reports, medical records, correspondence, papers, transcripts, court documents and notes.

Collected health pamphlets

This series documents Mastromatteo’s collection of pamphlets on a wide variety of public health issues. The authors of the pamphlets include government agencies, private companies, and professional associations. Public health issues discussed include both occupational and non-occupational issues.

Record types are mostly pamphlets with one report. Files are arranged by subject, then by publisher, with publication-specific files at the end. All sections are alphabetical within.

Ernest Mastromatteo fonds

  • UTA 1524
  • Fonds
  • 1915-2011

This fonds contains records related to the professional activities and personal life of Dr. Ernest Mastromatteo, occupational physician. The bulk of the material in this fonds documents his roles as a medical practitioner, researcher, and occupational health director. The series documenting the activities of the Nickel Producers’ Environmental Research Association, an association Dr. Mastromatteo was heavily involved in during the 1980s, is the largest, with smaller series documenting his career at Inco, his work with the American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists, and his many projects, case studies, organizations, associations and societies, as well as legal cases he provided testimony in. There is also a relatively large amount of material documenting his research in the form of addresses, and additional material chronicling his time as a student at both the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine and the School of Hygiene.

Records include correspondence, notebooks, publications, drafts, prints, reports, meeting minutes and memoranda.

Mastromatteo, Ernest

RFPs and commissioned research

This sub-series documents requests for proposals issued by NiPERA to seek out environmental research organizations willing to carry out research projects on the hazards of nickel exposure and related dangers for NiPERA. This sub-series also includes the research itself. Record types include notes, drafts, papers, reports, and correspondence. These records are arranged chronologically.

Education

This series documents Dr. Mastromatteo’s time as a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine (1942-1947), and later the School of Hygiene (1949-1950). The records pertain mainly to his education but also to more general life events and rites of passage. There is also one file of material from his time as a faculty member at the School of Hygiene, and some material from the Faculty of Medicine class of 1947 alumni. As he attended the Faculty of Medicine during World War II, the medical program was compressed from 6 to 4 years, and holidays were eliminated and replaced with army basic training. After the war ended, the program transitioned back to its normal schedule. For this reason, the class notes in B2018-0034 are somewhat irregularly dated. The Class of 1947 reunion "Then and Now" document contains a more detailed description of the medical program during and after the war.

Records in this series include a scrapbook, class notes, and a small amount of correspondence and press clippings.
