Personal and family

This series begins with two family monographs that Professor Shaw wrote: The Chicago Winterbothams and the Boston Shaws, 1880 to 2005 (Toronto, 2005) and that of his wife, Maria, Diaspora and Confluence: the Coutroubaki-Hazzidaki Families, c. 1850-2009 (Toronto, 2009). In Accession B2011-0007, there is also a file of correspondence from Joseph Shaw to his parents, Rue and Alfred, dated 1959-1970, including photographs from his army days and his first excavation at Kenchreai. The rest of the series consists of diaries.o

The diaries in this series (Professor Shaw variously dubbed them “diaries” and “daybooks”) begin in 1960 and end on 9 October 2008. Keeping diaries was a habit he picked up from his father. He stated “the reason for writing them was partly confessional, but also because most people, aside from myself, wouldn't care…But also digestion, for once something is absorbed consciously, that material may lead to other thoughts, even to discoveries about oneself, others, the world” [1]. Not every year is represented as Professor Shaw did not write them for some years, as in the early 1960s, and during 2003 when he was ill. The diaries contain, in addition to written entries, sketches of certain archaeological excavations, photographs (most tipped in but some loose), press clippings, letters, notes, inscriptions in Greek and some translations thereof, poems, and even drawings by his children. The photographs largely document personal and family activities and include some images of Professor Shaw as young man in 1950 (see diary for 17 June 1978 – 11 June 1979). There are some photographs of his archaeological work but not necessarily in the volumes related to the specific sites mentioned below.

University of Toronto: lecture notes and teaching materials

This series documents courses taught by Professor Shaw in the Department of Fine Art and in the School of Graduate Studies, History of Art. It consists of correspondence, notes, course outlines, reading lists, detailed notes on how the courses were given, some lecture notes, overall assessments of the students’ papers and seminars, completed course critiques by the students themselves, and a selection of student papers for undergraduate and graduate courses. Only a small selection of undergraduate student papers has been retained. Professor Shaw made detailed critiques of student presentations and papers for graduate courses, so more papers have been kept. There are a few photographs for the course, FAH 2003F (1988). The arrangement is by ascending course number and by academic year for each course.

Correspondence

The e-mails, letters, postcards, notes, sketches, and the occasional photograph in this series document the interchange of ideas and information between Professor Shaw and his students, former students and colleagues involved in the Kommos excavations project, and with editors and others involved with publishing the results. For additional correspondence relating to specific publications, see Series 5. The photographs associated with the correspondence have been left in the relevant files. The arrangement of the files is alphabetically by name of individual correspondent or organization, except the files from Accession B2011-0007, which contain correspondence in Greek with Manolis Kandianakis, someone who worked on the excavation at Kommos, and various colleagues and friends from Pitsidia

The files contain information about assembling the personnel for the archaeological excavations and surveys undertaken, issues relating to them, reports on results, and the publication of some papers. There are many inquiries about employment and letters of reference. Correspondence with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (1993-2003) relates primarily to reports submitted on the results of research undertaken. Many of the other files document the relationship between archaeological research and the production of the Kommos volumes. Volumes I, Part I and II were produced by an independent production company, under the general editorship of Professor Shaw and his wife, Maria, with Barbara Ibroni as an editor and Karen Fortgang as copyeditor, and printed by Princeton University Press, which also printed the other volumes. Much of the correspondence with James Wright and Lucia Nixon, for example, relates to their chapters, respectively, in Parts I and 2 of Kommos I. The correspondence with David Reese and Debbie Ruscillo documents respectively their research for chapters in volume IV, while that with Julie Pfaff documents her digs and plates on pottery for Kommos V. The correspondence with editors Karen Fortgang, Barbara Ibroni and Cy Strong (he was hired for volumes IV and V); Richard Hope-Simpson, Alan Johnston, and Princeton University Press, Peter M. Day, Vassilis Kilikoglou, and Aleydis van de Moortel, documents the process by which Kommos I, Parts I and 2, IV, and V made it to print.

Manuscripts and publications

The files in this series contains most of the manuscripts, articles, chapters of books, and books written by Professor Shaw (often in conjunction with his wife, Maria, and sometimes with other authors), and two of his book reviews. The earliest articles document the results of his work at Kenchreai, where he toiled under the supervision of Robert Scranton, beginning in 1963 and which resulted (with Scranton and others) in his first book, Kenchreai, Volume I, The Town and The Harbour (1978). Professor Shaw’s subsequent introduction by Nicholas Platon to Crete and, especially to Kommos, and his doctoral research on port establishments in the Mediterranean, set the stage for much of his future work and writings. The excavations at Kommos began 1976 and, over thirty years, has resulted in six major studies published by Princeton University Press. Popularly dubbed Kommos I to V, they appeared in 1995-1996, 1990, 1992, 2000, and 2006 respectively. The Shaws edited volumes I, parts 1 and 2, IV and V. Volumes II and III were edited by others and are only tangentially represented in this series. The Shaws also edited another book on Kommos, A Great Minoan Triangle in Southcentral Crete: Kommos, Hagia Triadha, Phaistos (1985). Professor Shaw also wrote Kommos: A Minoan harbor town and Greek sanctuary in Crete (2006), and edited, with Aleydis Van de Moortel, Peter M. Day, and Vassilis Kilikoglou, A LM IA ceramic kiln in south-central Crete: function and pottery production (2001).

These volumes and numerous articles on Kommos are represented in this series, but most of the periodic reports on excavations there are not included. The remaining articles document the results of research ranging from Minoan palaces and tripartite shrines, to archaeological sites at Akrotiri and Thera, Cretan temples, and Phoenicians in southern Crete.

The files contain any combination of correspondence, notes, drafts, drawings and photographs. The few photographs have been left with the textual materials with which they are associated, and the arrangement of the files is chronological, by date of publication.

Education

This series documents Professor Sim’s university education, beginning with examination results at Wah Yan College, the English-system school run by the Jesuits in Hong Kong, where he spent two years improving his English before entering the University of Hong Kong in 1938. His notes at the latter, for Engineering courses in algebra, applied and pure mathematics and physics, survived the vicissitudes of war, but those for Medicine, to which he switched in the fall of 1940, did not. The files for Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy courses at the University of Washington (1946-1949) include course notes for only two courses (in French), some essays on his experiences during World War II and his coming to the United States, short essays on scientists, his BScPhm thesis, and a file on the 50th anniversary (1999) reunion of his class. Also present are copies of his Masters and Doctoral theses, a notebook on extractions and assays, a spoof on a technical paper, and an essay on his impressions of America. There are also files documenting his state pharmacist licence, which he obtained in 1951 and maintained until 1980, and on the course in pharmacognosy he taught while finishing his thesis and about which he later wrote.

Included in this series is a photo album of Professor Sim’s years at the University of Washington and a number of files of loose photos for the years 1947-1955 of him in his residences, his lab, with friends and colleagues and on vacation.

Professional and scientific organizations

Of the professional and scientific associations listed in the biographical sketch on Professor Sim, only the Canadian Pharmaceutical Association and the American Society of Pharmacognosy are included in this series. There are also slim files on the Association of Deans of Pharmacy of Canada, the Association of Faculties of Pharmacy of Canada, and the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada. Accompanying the textual records are photographs of meetings American Society of Pharmacognosy and the Canadian Pharmaceutical Association.

Professional correspondence

This series consists of files of Professor Sim’s correspondence with professional colleagues, Raul N. De Gasperi (University of Miami), Norman R. Farnsworth (University of Illinois, Chicago), Heroshi Mitsuhaski (Hokkaido University, Japan), Krishna Chandia Varma (University of Saugar, India), followed by letters of reference covering the years 1961-1993. The correspondence with colleagues relates primarily to research interests and invitations to visit the University of Toronto.

Manuscripts and publications

Professor Sim’s writings document his experimental research and his interest in the wider aspects of the evolution of the teaching of pharmacognosy and pharmacology. The files contain any combination of correspondence, notes, drafts, offprints, and reviews of his articles and books. Two at the end of the series contain acetate sheets for addresses given. There are a number of unpublished items; those in mimeograph format were mostly associated with his teaching. Not all of his published writings are documented here, and the experimental research for some can be found, at least in part, in Series 8.

The series begins with a few letters to the editor and book reviews, followed by drafts of articles and books. The two books Professor Sims wrote were introductory texts for pharmacy students, on medicinal plant alkaloids and glycerides. Both attracted international interest and went through several printings and/or editions. Some of his articles also attracted wide interest.

Research

This series is divided into four sections: correspondence regarding research on medical, drug, and poisonous plants, with files on Laetril and vitamins; files on the basic research course on radio-isotopes that Professor Sim took at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in 1966; research grant applications; and experimental research databooks. The NRC grants were for Professor Sim’s ongoing research on ergot (Claviceps) fungus: the first focussing on the enzyme activity in cultured tissues, and the second on its metabolism (see file on experiments in ‘pHPP colorimetric work,’ /014(05)).

The correspondence files are extensive and there are numerous databooks. The latter do not appear to be complete in all cases as there are gaps in the numbered experiments. The databooks B-I and II and the ‘W” series are inter-related and cover experiments on the calibration of Warburg flasks and monometers that were carried out at the Universities of Washington and British Columbia. The remaining data was compiled during experiments at the University of Toronto. These databooks contain research on histamines and tyrosine, to mention the most prominent, and there are two books of data for Professor Sim’s writings on Claviceps.

The databooks are grouped by number, where provided, and generally in chronological order. Nearly all are from the 1950s and the 1960s.

Addresses

Only seven of Professor Sim’s addresses are represented in this series. The most thoroughly documented, on toxic and hallucinogenic plants, was given to the Alcoholism and Drug Addiction Research Foundation in Toronto in October 1978. Other topics include enzyme therapy, narcotic analgesics, the treatment of infections in cancer patients, amikasin, endorphins, and the use of Didanosine for AIDS patients.

University of Toronto: administrative files

This series documents certain administrative activities of the Faculty of Pharmacy during Professor Sim’s professorship therein, beginning with files on his employment and faculty and students’ course evaluations. These are followed by files on the Decanal Search Committee for the Dean, Faculty Council meetings, and the Admissions and Selections Committee with inquiries for graduate and post-doctoral positions (mostly from the 1960s and the 1970s). There are comprehensive files on the work of the Faculty’s Library Committee and the Presidential Advisory Committee on the U of T Library System, and on the hospital pharmacy residency programme at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. The remainder of the series documents a number of policy reports, initiatives in course development, the Graduate Study and Research program, focussed studies, and pharmacy education generally. The series concludes with a file on the Undergraduate Pharmaceutical Society to which Professor Sims was faculty advisor, several reports from the Dean, and a file on the pharmacognosy 233 course at the University of Illinois.

Some planners also include notes and recollections. Dr. Franklin often kept extra material tucked into in the planners, which reflect her activities during that given month. This material includes news clippings, letters, event programs, invitations, newsletters, address books, drawings by her children, business cards, and photographs.

Notes and notebooks

Series consists of various notes and notebooks kept by Dr. Franklin. These notebooks are typically unlabeled/titled, and often undated. The notes they contain pertain to a wide scope of matters, and are not particularly organized.

Chronology files (keynotes, lectures, talks)

Series consists of what Dr. Franklin referred to as her ‘chronology files’: files kept on various events she attended – most of which she spoke at. Events include academic conferences, guest lectures, government meetings and hearings, public talks to community and religious groups, memorials, press conferences and panels.

Topics covered include science policy, technology, materials science, archaeometry, museums, women in engineering and science, the state of higher learning, the commercialization of universities, education, peace and violence, military research, human rights, feminism, faith, the nature of research, energy policy and the environment, and opposition to nuclear technology.

Records include correspondence, paper abstracts, notes, programs, brochures, posters, proceedings news coverage, transparencies, and contracts. Dr. Franklin typically spoke from handwritten notes, rather than a typed script. Where a transcript exists, the file title includes the word ‘[transcript]’. Occasionally, ‘transcript’ denotes the original text/paper created before the talk (ex: for the presentation of academic papers), but for the most case, these are transcripts sent to her after-the-fact by event organizers. Where Dr. Franklin’s speaking notes are typed and more coherent/complete, the file title will include the term ‘[typed notes’].

Series also includes files kept on declined speaking events, conferences, symposia, seminars, councils and focus groups.

Publications

Series consists of records relating to Dr. Franklin’s publishing activities. See subseries descriptions for more information.

Publicity and public education

See subseries descriptions for more information.

Research

Series consists of records documenting Dr. Franklin’s research activities in physics, materials science, archaeometry, and museums. See subseries for more information.

Other advocacy and activism

Series consists of records relating to a wide range of advocacy and activism undertaken by Dr. Franklin throughout her life, including work against the amalgamation of Toronto, and testimony at the Toronto Board of Education public education hearings. Subseries also includes some background material and correspondence on aboriginal knowledge and rights. 3 files contain public literature distributed by Canada’s right wing and hate groups, some direct attacks on the kinds of groups with which Dr. Franklin worked.

Several files pertain to Aleksandra Vinogradov’s 1988 compliant of discrimination against the University of Calgary, in regards to her treatment as a candidate for an appointment in its Department of Civil Engineering. Records in these files include letters of support, news clippings, newsletters from The Aleksandra Vinogradov Defence Committee, and a report by the CAUT (Canadian Association of University Teachers’) Committee of Inquiry into the matter. Files also contain various legal documents, including judgments and appeals.

Another file relates to the court case of Donna Smythe, a well-known Canadian writer and professor English at Acadia University, who was charged with libel by Professor Leo Yaffe, professor of chemistry at McGill University, because of an op/ed signed editorial that Dr. Smythe wrote. According to Dr. Franklin, Smythe had commented on a talk given by Dr. Yaffe on “The Health Hazards of Not Going Nuclear”. The uranium mining industry in Nova Scotia used this case to try to destroy the citizen’s group in which Dr. Smythe and Dr. Gillian Thomas were very active. The group, many of them farmers, was struggling to have uranium mining prohibited in Nova Scotia because of the potential damage to water and soil. In spite of Dr. Franklin’s efforts to mediate between Dr. Yaffe and Smythe, the case came to trial before jury in Halifax. Yaffee claimed that Dr. Smythe’s article questioned his professional judgment. Dr. Franklin appeared as a witness on behalf of Dr. Smythe. Dr. Franklin relied on documents on academic promotion and tenure used in Canadian universities and could show that newspaper articles, be they positive or negative, were not considered evidence on which to base professional qualifications. The jury ruled that Dr. Yaffe’s reputation had not been damaged and that there were no grounds for libel. In spite of this positive verdict, the citizen’s group was destroyed for all practical purposes and during the two years prior to the trial had not been able to mount any political action. CBC’s Ideas covered some of the trial together with a libel suit against the CBC’s Max Allen regarding his program on lead pollution (Give Us This Day Our Daily Lead).
