Books

During his career Prof Chambers has written more than 12 books, 5 of these as the sole author. These books relate to both areas of expertise, linguistics and jazz.

This series contains files relating to four of his books, all as sole author, and all relating to jazz music. The most voluminous information relates to his first major book on jazz, the biography of Miles Davis. Milestones I: The music and times of Miles Davis to 1960 and Milestones II: The music and times of Miles Davis since 1960 were published in 1983 and 1985 respectively and at a total of 761 pages remains Prof. Chambers’ major work to date. The files documenting this book include correspondence relating to both volumes, reviews, manuscripts, research and photographs. Aspects of Chambers’ writing process are shown by two boxes of index card files containing reference materials (organized by song), plus a scrapbook of research materials (clippings, notes, correspondence etc.), cross referenced to the card files. Chambers’ format for this book has been described as a ‘bio-discography’ with the sound documents of some 120 phonorecords that Miles Davis had appeared on.[1]

The second book documented in this series is Genuflect, an unpublished novel set in Toronto, the manuscript of which was produced in 1995 and 1996. Files relating to this work consist of correspondence and two drafts of the manuscript.

Crescendo: Duke Ellington in the Age of Cool Jazz and Hard Bop was completed in 2006 and submitted to various publishers. The files relating to this yet unpublished book consist of research materials, correspondence and the manuscript.

Bouncin with Bartok: The incomplete works of Richard Twardzik, published in 2008 by Mercury Press (Toronto), is another biographical work. In this book, Prof. Chambers describes the life of American jazz pianist, Dick Twardzik, who died of a drug overdose in 1955 at the age of 24. In a review of this book, the reviewer states “Chambers…has taken this mysterious figure from a bygone jazz era and brought him fully to life in the pages of this remarkable book… Chambers … has uncovered a rich cornucopia of information on the pianist. He conferred with aunts and cousins, friends and acquaintances, commentators and colleagues. He tracked correspondence, followed up various trails, and puts together a complete account, satisfying both for its biographical rigor as well as the critical intelligence he applies to Twardzik’s body of work.” [2] The files relating to this book include correspondence from 1975 to 2007, and a manuscript.

Infrasizer Ltd.

This series documents Etkin’s research activities relating to Infrasizer Ltd.. This company was founded in 1937 by University of Toronto mining professor H.E.T. Haultain as a means of building and distributing his Infrasizer, a particle separator that he invented for use in processing minerals. When Etkin became Dean of Engineering in 1973, he became the defacto president of Infrasizer Ltd. Files at the beginning of this series contain mainly correspondence and reports relating the administration of Infrasizer Ltd during Etkin’s period as Dean (1973-1979).

While in his capacity as director of the company, he set out to improve on the model. The result was the Infrasizer MK III a laboratory device and the Tervel Separator developed for commercial use. Most of the records in this series document the development of these two inventions. Includes information on patents and use of the MK III model for industry clients (filed alphabetically by client name) as well as the attempt to manufacture and market the Tervel Separator.

Research files

This series contains mainly correspondence, manuscripts, drafts and notes relating to some of the many research papers, reports and proposals that were published or presented by Etkin over a 40 year span. To list only a few, papers document his work in: wind engineering, flight dynamics, satellite stability, flight in turbulent winds, supersonic wing design, wind tunnel design and aerodynamic particle separator design.

Of particular note are files relating to his research on the spin decay of the Alouette I Satellite and his subsequent design modifications for Alouette II. Etkin identified the deceleration of the early Alouette I satellite as one of the most interesting science and engineering problems that he was faced with throughout his career. Scientific papers presenting his findings can be found in this series while records relating to grants to design a modification for Alouette II are found in Series 5 – Grants.

A second file to note, documents the role he and his IAS colleagues played in the safe return of the Apollo 13 mission. Identified by Etkin as the most dramatic event in his career, the story is preserved here in correspondence, notes, clippings and a photo. Etkin’s discussion of the event can be found in a recent talk to the Engineering Alumni Association found in Series 2 - Lectures, Talks and Seminars (B2004-0017/005(42).

Finally Etkin’s comments on peer publications, referee reports and reviews for several journals can also be found in this series along with files relating to his time as one of the editors of Progress in Aerospace Science.

Grants

Files in this series document much of the same research areas documented in Series 3 but relate to those specific projects funded by granting bodies, mainly by the Canadian and American governments. Much of the early research conducted at the Institute of Aerospace Studies by Etkin and his colleagues was funded by Canada’s Defence Research Board, the U.S. Air Force’s Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), and National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and later by NASA and the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council .

Other government agencies supported research for specific purposes relating to their operation. For example, there are files on air curtain projects for Toronto City Hall, Ontario Hydro and the Ontario Science Centre, a file on noise research for the Toronto Transit Commission, and one file on the aerodynamic stability of helicopters for the Hydro-Electric Power Commission.

Files contain papers, reports, proposals, budgets, contracts and correspondence. They are arranged alphabetically by the name of the granting agency or the subject matter of the research undertaken.

Consulting

Records in this series again document Etkin’s research and the application of this research by industry. Files most often contain correspondence, reports, notes and invoices relating to research undertaken. Early in his career, he worked as a consultant for several Canadian aviation firms including DeHavilland, Avro, and Found Brothers Aviation of Malton Ont. . By the early 1960s, professors of the UTIAS founded AERCOL Aerospace Engineering Research Consultants and as a member of this group, Etkin continued consulting work for the aviation industry including companies such as DeHavilland SPAR, General Electric and Goodyear, all of which had aerospace divisions.

Many of the client files documented in this series represent clients such as architectural firms and industrial firms requesting wind tunnel tests on structures, consultation on wind loads and the design and testing of air curtains. Of particular note is the wind tunnel test done for Parkins and Associates on the “new” Toronto City Hall design in 1960. The original award winning design had to be modified after it failed the wind tunnel tests. The initial uproar that ensued at city hall and in the media drew attention to Etkin’s research in his state of the art wind tunnel. For Etkin’s recollection of this event, see his recent talk to the Engineering Alumni Association found in Series 2 - Lectures, Talks and Seminars (B2004-0017/005(42).

Graphic

Photographs and portraits document many of Dr. Evans professional activities and milestones in his career. They show him receiving awards, at meetings and conferences, in groups at ceremonies. There are also some family photos and photographs of his trips to China and Nepal.

Personal and biographical

This series contains copies of Professor Flynn’s curriculum vitae and some correspondence, both personal and professional and including letters of reference, and examination questions for his undergraduate work in Arts at the University of Toronto in the early 1940s. Included are three photographs and a satirical drawing of his receiving his doctorate from the Sorbonne.

Research

Professor Flinn’s academic research centred on bourgeoise literature in the Middle Ages, particularly in France, and the iconography of the Roman de Renart, Renard the fox, and related works in medieval Europe. It led to one book, Le Roman de Renart dans la littérature française et dans les literatures étrangères au Moyen Age and a number of articles and addresses. His research continued into retirement and over the years he corresponded with a number of fellow enthusiasts, especially Tobias Hagtingius in the Netherlands and Kenneth Varty at the University of Glasgow.

The files contain notes, original material sent by colleagues, correspondence relating to Professor Flinn’s research interests and partial drafts of some writing projects. Some relate to his book, others to the iconography of the Roman de Renart, and still others to a ‘Reynard the Fox in Europe’ project proposed by Erwin Verzandvoort of the Netherlands in the late 1980s, which apparently came to naught. It is not possible, for the most part, to relate these files directly to a single publication, except for a few files relating to Professor Flinn’s book; these can be found in the next series.

The arrangement of the files follows Professor Flinn’s quite closely, with the description of each file (except for the “Renart’ prefix to each, done by the arranger) being, very largely, what he provided.

Included are photoprints, film strips, photonegatives, slides and postcards from sources in Europe and Britain; these are often referred to in the correspondence or in Professor Flinn’s notes. The images in B2009-0038/002P have been left in the envelopes provided by Professor Flinn, with his notations thereon; the descriptions of the other photos are taken from his notations. For an accompanying file of notes, see B2009-0038/005(18). The arrangement has been left in the order he created.

Early education and biographical

The correspondence documents other aspects of MacDowell's life as well, such as her role as editor of the Ontario History journal and as a publishing academic. Additional correspondence can be found throughout other series within this accession as they pertain directly to the content of those files.

Research

Throughout his career, Dr. Fowler conducted numerous studies relating to infants, toddlers and school age children. Some of these have been highlighted in the previous series and relate to his long time interest in twins, day care, child rearing and the impact of developmental stimulation.

This series contains only a sampling of the voluminous original and secondary research materials collected and compiled by Dr. Fowler. Much of the original data containing personal identifiers of children has not been retained for obvious privacy and ethical reasons. Represented in this series are files relating to research spanning some 25 years on topics such as reading, cognitive style, language stimulation and development (with specific reference to the Italian and West Indian studies), and specific studies such as the Bassari, Manitoulin Island and Woodbine Day Care. Files may contain correspondence, drafts of manuscripts, notes, cumulative data, original forms developed by Dr. Fowler for a specific study, notes, and reports. The Bassari project is also documented in photographs showing Dr. Fowler at work in the field.

Professional associations and activities

Professor Franceschetti was deeply involved with a number of professional associations, especially the Associazione Internazionale per gli Studi di Lingua e Letteratura Italiana (AISLLI), the Canadian Federation of the Humanities and its publication committee, and the Canadian Society for Italian Studies (CSIS). The files on AISLLI are particularly extensive, partly because its 12th convention was held in Canada, with Professor Franceschetti as co-ordinator of the organizing committee. There are files on most of the other AISLLI conventions between 1983 and 1997 and some of its general assembly meetings. With CSIS, most of the files document Professor Franceschetti’s work as associate editor, and then, editor of its journal, Quaderni d’Italianistica. The files here include extensive correspondence with the writers of articles and some financial records. There are also files on CSIS’ nominating committee and most of its annual conferences.

The other organizations documented in this series are the American Association for Italian Studies (1980 and 1990 conferences), the American Boccaccio Association, the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (1990 conference), the Canadian Mediterranean Institute and its Canadian Academic Centre in Italy, the Centro di Studi Umanistici “Angelo Poliziano”, the Dante Society of Toronto, the Humanities Research Council of Canada, the International Association of Hispanists, and the Modern Language Association of America. The series ends with a file on the World Petrarch Conference in Washington, DC in 1974.

The files contain a wide range of correspondence, minutes of meetings, grant applications, programmes, some drafts of addresses, legal documents such as constitutions, appraisals of applications for funding of publications, and associated material, and posters. See file listing for additional detail.

Manuscripts and publications

Files in this series document Prof. Franceschetti’s publishing activity. It includes general correspondence relating to books sent for review and information about sources and related material; additional general correspondence and notes for reviews; and correspondence about books sent for review to Quaderni d’Italianistica. These general files are followed by reviews arranged chronologically, with the files containing any combination of notes for and drafts of reviews and covering correspondence, and posters.

Professor Franceschetti’s prolific publication record of articles and books is outlined in the biographical sketch above. The remainder of the series consists of files relating to manuscripts submitted for publication and articles and books that were published. Only the first of his three books are documented in much detail, but considerable documentation of his many articles is present, usually in draft format (though some files contain no drafts) and often with covering correspondence and/or notes. See file listing for additional detail.
