Linguistics

This series contains alphabetically arranged correspondence files relating to various topics, organizations and individuals on the discipline of linguistics. Also included in this series are files in chronological order in three categories: American linguistics, British (and European) linguistics and Canadian linguistics. Files in this latter category are the most voluminous, containing correspondence with Prof. Chambers from his earliest days at the University of Toronto. Correspondence with American linguists include David Rood, University of Colorado, Robert I. Binnick, University of Kansas, William Labov, Virginia McDavid, Richard Spears, John Baugh among others. British and European correspondents include, among others, Paul Salmon, University Reading, David Britain, Victoria University of Wellington (NZ), Edgar Schneider, Universitat Regensburg and Beat Glauser, Heidelberg. Correspondence with Canadian linguists include colleagues both inside and outside the University of Toronto, and include linguists such as C. Douglas Ellis of McGill University, Harrold Paddock, Memorial University, H.R. Wilson, University of Western Ontario, William Cowan, Carleton University and Gary Prideaux, University of Alberta.

Further records relating to Prof. Chambers’ work in the field of linguistics can be found in file B2019-0038/001(01), which includes some correspondence and ephemera relating to speaking engagements and conferences. Many of the press clippings in files B2019-0038/001(07)-(09) quote Prof. Chambers on the subject of linguistics, demonstrating his role as a regular commentator on this subject, particularly in relation to Canadian English. Similarly, two sound recordings relate to his contributions to the CBC Radio program And Sometimes Y, which explored the cultural and social context of language; another to a talk on language, sex and gender given in Vienna in 2006.

Aboriginal Health Professions Program

Series consists of records created and collected by Dr. Baine’s throughout his participation in several committees that were instrumental in the creation and administration of the Aboriginal Health Professions Program (AHPP) and the Office of Aboriginal Student Services and Programs (OASSP) at the University of Toronto. These committees include the Faculty of Medicine Task Force on Native Canadian Students (ca. 1980s), the Professional Education of Native Students Committee (PENSC) (1983 – 1986), the Aboriginal Health Professions Program Advisory Committee (1986 – 1991), and the Management Committee for Aboriginal Programs and Services (MCAPS) (1991 – 1993).

The AHPP (originally named the Indian Health Careers Program) was established in 1986 to improve the admission, retention, and graduation rates of Indigenous students in health science programs by identifying and supporting their specific cultural, social, and academic needs. One of its primary goals was to increase the number of qualified healthcare professionals who held both traditional knowledge and understandings of Western medical practices in order to improve the provision of healthcare to urban and rural Indigenous communities. Records in this series document several of the programs and services provided by the AHPP, including the Health Sciences Access Program for pre-university preparation, the Science-Math Pilot Project for grades 9 to 13, the Health Experience Program, as well as a recruitment, admission advocacy, and career counselling programs. These programs laid the foundations for the establishment of the OASSP and First Nations House which continue to provide culturally relevant student services to Indigenous students University-wide.

Records document the history, structure, objectives, and activities of the AHPP, OASSP, and the aforementioned committees. Materials include correspondence, agendas, meeting minutes, reports, workshop materials, project and funding proposals, project summaries, budgets, news clippings, and reference materials.

Series is divided into three subseries:

  • Subseries 5.1 includes records related to the Faculty of Medicine Task Force on Native Canadian Students and PENSC, which preceded the creation of the AHPP.
  • Subseries 5.2 includes records related to the AHPP Advisory Committee.
  • Subseries 5.3 relates to MCAPS which was established after the creation of the AHPP.

Due to the closely related functions of the various committees, there may be some overlap between subseries.

Buildings and projects

Professor Richards’ practice as a professional architect in the United States, Italy, and Canada “has resulted in more than 50 buildings and projects, including work in urban design, architecture, interior design, furniture design, and graphics.” His use of “collage processes to represent conceptual architectural projects” and his interest in the work of Japanese architects is also documented in this series.

This series begins with multiple files on designs assembled by Professor Richards, including one on McDonald’s, and miscellaneous notes and sketches, mostly from the 1970s and the 1980s. The dated designs are arranged chronologically. The most completely documented projects, most with accompanying correspondence and notes, are for Arthur’s Restaurant, the two projects for Romero Romei, the Mill Cove residence, the Faenza competition, the Agnes Etherington Art Centre project, and the AIDS Memorial competition for Cawthra Park on Church Street in Toronto. Examples of his design work may also be found in Series 1, 7, 9 and 11.

Accession B2019-0009 includes sketches and drawings for some of the projects mentioned above, as well as assorted sketches of private homes. Material also includes artwork produced by Richards.
