Research projects

Most of the files in this series relate to the ‘College Choice’ project, the first study in Canada of “the effects of surveys on students as they make choices among colleges.” It was based on “a series of surveys carried out at the University of Toronto from the late 1970s and on a series or surveys and interviews of students and guidance counselors in four or five Toronto high schools with different student populations.” The files contain correspondence; compact discs of data sets, reports, and associated material; “catchment samples” and participant dossiers; data analysis and drafts of reports. Files on several other research projects follow. Research projects for which Professor Lang received external funding and which are not included in this series are listed in his curriculum vitae in B2011-0003/001 (01).

Editorial work

This series documents most of Professor Lang’s activities as a member of editorial boards, as an editorial consultant for scholarly journals and as a manuscript reviewer for the University of Toronto Press. There are no files for his work with Interchange: A Journal of Educational Studies and the Ontario Journal of Higher Education or for his work as a manuscript reviewer for the University of Toronto Press after 1999.

Professional activities (other)

This series documents professional activities other than those described in the two previous series. Included is material on consulting and special projects, boards of governors of educational institutions that Professor Lang sat on, and his association with a number of other educational agencies and groups in Canada and elsewhere. Of the last, the most documentation is on the Ontario Council on University Affairs, the Premier’s Council for Economic Renewal, and the Sweden/Ontario Bilateral Exchange Seminar for Senior Academic Administrators (1982-1983). The arrangement in this section is by name of organization or event.

The files may contain any combination of correspondence, memoranda, minutes of meetings, notes, and reports.

Professional activities: Ontario. Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities

Professor Lang’s first major collaboration with the then Ministry of Colleges and Universities began in 1991 when he was a member of the Minister’s Task Force on University Accountability. Later he was involved in several joint projects with the Ministry and its successors [the Ministry of Education and Training (from 1995) and from 2000, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities] and the Council of Ontario Universities; in particular, their Steering Committee on Ontario Graduate Survey (1997-), their Joint Steering Committee on OSAP (1998-2001), and their Key Performance Indicators project (2000-2005). In 2006 he became a member of the Ministry’s Joint Working Group on Student Access Guarantee. From 2008 to 2011 he was the Ministry’s Working Group and Steering Committee on Transfer. Not all of these activities are documented in this series.

In 2006-2007 the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities undertook two inter-related research projects “aimed generally at learning about the characteristics of ‘first-generation’ students.” The first, “College Choice”, focused on the factors that influenced students in seeking post-secondary education and their choices of institutions to attend. The second, dubbed Project STAR (Student Achievement and Retention), “sought to determine the factors that influence the academic performance and retention of students in the first year of university.” It was sponsored by the Canada Millenium Scholarship Foundation and Statistics
Canada.

Files in B2018-0001 document Professor Lang's role as Special Advisor to the Deputy Minister, in particular his involvement with the negotiations between the Government of Ontario and Ontario universities regarding the second Strategic Mandate Agreement (SMA2), and Ontario colleges regarding the Colleges Applied Research and Development Fund [CARDF].

Also included are files regarding the creation of a francophone university in Ontario; the Joint Working Group on Student Access Guarantee, regarding the modernization of the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP); and the Steering Committee on Transfer Credits.

Professional activities: Council of Ontario Universities

The Council of Ontario Universities (COU) was formed on December 3, 1962 as the “Committee of Presidents of Provincially Assisted Universities and Colleges of Ontario,” with its current name being adopted in 1971. The mandate of the COU is to “build awareness of the university sector’s contributions to the social, economic and cultural well-being of the province and the country, as well as the issues that impact the sector’s ability to maximize these contributions.” It works with Ontario’s publicly assisted universities and one associate member institution, the Royal Military College of Canada. This series documents the activities of a number of its committees and task forces, which are detailed below, approximately in order of activity.

Professor Lang was a member of the COU’s Committee on Enrolment Statistics and Projections from 1976 to 1990. In 1982-1983 he sat on its Special Committee on BILD Administrative Procedures and from 1987 to 1991 was a member of its Research Advisory Group. In 1991 he was invited to be part of a small task force to present proposals to the government for an income contingent repayment plan for Ontario students. Throughout much of the 1990s, he was involved with the COU’s Committee on University Accountability and the Performance Indicators for the Public Postsecondary System in Ontario project, better known as the Performance Indicators Project, the purpose of which was to assess the overall Ontario postsecondary sector.

He was also a member of four task forces: Audit Guidelines (1998-2000), Secondary School Issues (1998-2005), Student Financial Assistance (2006-), and Quality Assurance (2008-2010).
The Task Force on Secondary School Issues was established to assess the evaluation of students in the new secondary school program of studies and to make recommendations regarding the monitoring of grading practices and standards.

The COU’s Quality and Productivity Task Force work was to outline “all the quality and productivity initiatives” undertaken to “showcase results for the government’s increased investment in universities.” Its report, presented in March 2006, was followed by the COU Task Force on Quality Measurements, chaired by David Naylor of the University of Toronto. It was charged with addressing the “broad issues related to quality measurement, developing the long-term strategies for COU’s work with the government and the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO).” [1]

Files in B2018-0001 include correspondence with U of T and COU colleagues, as well as further records related to his role on the COU’s Committee on University Accountability. Also included are further records about the COU's Task Force on Quality Assurance (2008-2010), including its subsequent transition and implementation phase.

The files in this series contain correspondence, memoranda, notes, minutes of meetings, drafts of reports, and assorted background reports and other documentation.

Manuscripts and publications: Mapping Upper Canada, 1780-1867

By the time Mapping Upper Canada appeared in 1991, Ms Winearls had spent thousands of hours compiling information, checking and rechecking it, and supervising the evolution of the manuscript. This was a groundbreaking project, for it involved developing a standardized system of describing the maps that was not based on the exact titles, which had been the normal practice previously. It was also a project that saw the evolution of the manuscript from the traditional handwritten format to a computer generated one. A complicating factor was that the index, with its ‘names’, ‘subject’ and ‘titles’ divisions, had to be compiled separately.

This series begins with a publication proposal, a ‘work in progress’ file, and two files of correspondence, notes and minutes relating to editing policies and to indexing problems. There is also a folder of correspondence and notes relating to land registry records. These files are in B1996-0021/003(01) - (07). Further files on funding, correspondence with potential publishers, including the University of Toronto Press, an appeal to public libraries for support, publicity, awards, reviews and royalties, are in B1998-0013/002(25) - (28) and /003(01) - (13).

The remainder of the series consists of drafts of the manuscript. Not all the drafts – there were many – have been retained. This series contains the earliest extant version for each section, and subsequent versions where there is evidence of significant advancement in the evolution of the text. Particular attention has been paid to keeping those versions that were annotated by Ms Winearls. The standard arrangement is as follows. The first file(s) contain the earliest draft, usually described as the “original draft”, in typescript, followed by the “first draft” which was computer-generated. In the final stages the manuscript was typeset.

B1996-0021, box 003 and the beginning of box 016 contain the earliest extant draft (typescript) of Part I: General’ (undated but 1986) and subsequent drafts – largely computer-generated – with notations and additions to May, 1989. The remainder of box 016 contains the earliest drafts ofPart II: Regions’ (1985-1989).

The earliest drafts of ‘Part III: Towns’ (1988-1989) are continued in B1996-0021, boxes 016 and 017; the latter contains the first complete draft (September-October, 1989) of the whole text.
The appendices are located as follows:
-Appendix A, ‘Township surveys’. Drafts and notes: B1998-0013/007(11) and 011(07);
-Appendix B, ‘Registered sub-divisions and plans’. Handwritten notes: B1996-0021/017(08) and (09);
-Appendix C, ‘Nautical charts’. Notes and drafts: B1996-0021/017(11) - (12) and /018(01);
-Appendix D, ‘Boundary surveys’. Notes and drafts: B1996-0021/018(02) – (03);
-Appendix E is in B1996-0021/018, along with drafts of the ‘Introduction’, ‘Location symbols’, ‘Abbreviations’, ‘Bibliography’, and the ‘final edit’ (July-August, 1990) of the text before the typeset copy was produced. Drafts of ‘illustrations and captions’ are in B1998-0013/011(08).

The corrected typescript copy of the manuscript that was produced in various stages throughout 1990 is in B1996-0021, box 019, along with a portion of the indexing text. The latter is continued in box 004, file 03 and in box 020, and concludes with drafts of the names’,subject’, and `title’ indices.

Photographic copies of maps loaned by Ms Winearls to the University of Toronto Press for inclusion in Mapping in Upper Canada have been removed from box B1998-0013/003(08) to 001P(04).

Manuscripts and publications

Ms Winearls has published widely on maps and map librarianship, beginning in 1967. This series consists of book reviews, articles, directories, exhibition catalogues, and chapters in books. A file in this series may contain draft of a manuscript, along with notes, covering correspondence, and reviews. The arrangement is chronological by date of publication.

Very few of Ms Winearls publications are missing from this series. The files relating to the writing of her major bibliographic work, Mapping Upper Canada, 1780-1867, are in Series 9. Files relating to Editing Early and Historical Atlases are found with the Conference on Editorial Problems files in Series 4.

A poster advertising the book, Ontario’s History in Maps (1984), which contains a cartobibliographic essay by Ms Winearls, “Sources for early maps in Ontario,” has been removed from B1998-0013/002(21) to /002(29).

The materials from B2022-0055 specifically pertain to Ms. Winearls’ articles and publications on Allan Brooks and his art. The records span from ca. 2001 to 2013 and include a publication proposal; research notes; an article in Rotunda; a draft paper and presentation notes for a Society for the History of Natural History (SHNH) International Conference; and a draft, an offprint, and correspondence related to an article for Scientia Canadensis. Also included are drafts of a catalogue of Allan Brooks artwork compiled by Ms. Winearls between 2001 – 2013 and four binders containing copies and photographs of Brooks’ original art and published illustrations to be used in conjunction with the catalogue. The contents of the binders have been removed and divided into files for preservation. Additional research files and background materials for the Allan Brooks Catalogue and articles are in Series 6.

Research files – Other projects

The principal research project in this series is described by Ms Winearls as “The mapping of western North America in the 19th century with particular reference to the De Fonte fantasy and the earlier ‘Sea of the West’ fantasy”. (The maps showed purported water routes between the west coast and the Northwest Passage or the central North American plains.) This project was begun in the early 1990s but not completed as planned and led to an article on one particular map, “Thomas Jefferys Map of Canada and the mapping of the western part of North America, 1750-1768’, that appeared in 1996. The second research project is on carto-bibliographic analysis and methodology re 18th century printed maps of North America [1].

The series begins with map bibliography & notes, consisting of preliminary bibliographic entries for Mer de l’Ouest/Riviere Longue de l’Ouest, and an early draft of a bibliography of maps relating to the De Fonte fantasy, followed by files of maps arranged by area: World, Arctic, Western hemisphere, North America, and Canada. There are also source files with notes, correspondence, and copies of documents, maps and other source material, covering De Fonte, early Canadian maps, and archival sources in British Columbia, the United States and Europe. Much of the photocopied material that has been retained is annotated. These files are followed by research notes and correspondence on Northwest-De Fonte and biographical sources, and on related maps, along with requests for microform and maps. Included are reproductive copies of maps and other copies.

The files for the research project on carto-bibliographic analysis and methodology re 18th century printed maps of North America include sample entries, copies of maps and published bibliographies and sources (largely annotated), along with bibliographical analyses and North American maps sources for analysis. Some oversized maps are included.

The series ends with Ms Winearls’ research on book illustration in Canada for the History of the Book in Canada project. Three volumes were planned under the general editorship of Patricia Lockhart Fleming and Yvan Lamonde, and they appeared between 2004 and 2007. Ms Winearls’ contribution was to the first volume. The files contain correspondence, contracts, notes, and source material. Drafts of the manuscript are in Series 8.

B2016-0009 contains research Ms Winearls did on Canadian bird artist J. Fenwick Lansdowne from 2000-2013. Included are original photographs of the artist, interviews, notes, compiled bibliography and exhibition list. There is also collected photocopies of ephemera relating to the artist, reviews of his works and exhibition catalogues. Finally, Winearls collected copies of correspondence and contracts between Lansdowne and his agent Bud Feheley (restricted to 2035).

B2022-0005 consists of research and working files related to Ms. Winearls research for her articles on another Canadian bird artist, Allan Cyril Brooks, and her Catalogue Raisonné of Brooks’ artwork. The records primarily contain notes and annotated copies of source materials related to Allan Brooks’ biography and chronology; auctions and sales of Brooks’ artwork; related bird artists such as Louis Agassiz Fuertes and George Lodge; critical articles about Brooks by bird artists; and Brooks’ correspondence from various archival sources (Blacker-Wood Library of Zoology at McGill University; British Columbia Archives/Royal British Columbia Museum; Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa; Natural History Museum in London, UK; Cornell University Library; Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology; and the National Audubon Society in New York).

Some of the research files focus on special aspects and problems related to the Brooks’ catalogue including undated works; sketches, and his paintings and illustrations in The Condor, William Leon Dawson’s Birds of California, Birds of Washington, Howard Smith/ Domtar calendars, National Association of Audubon Societies (NAAS) educational leaflets, Recreation, the Taverner Birds of Western Canada, and other illustrated books.

This series contains mainly professional correspondence with academic colleagues regarding research and professional activities. It documents the academic discussions and exchange of ideas between Hollander and well known international economists such as R.C.D. Black, Walter Eltis, T.W. Hutchinson, Mark Blaug, Martin Brofenbrenner, Don Patinkin, Giovani Caravale, Piero Bruchi, Maurice Daune, Ronald Meek, William Jaffe, A.P. Lerner, Hal Brauner, and R. Dorfman. Among his Canadian colleagues represented are Jack Robson, E.G. West, Scott Gordon, Harry Johnson, C.B. MacPherson, Tom Rymes, and A.M.C. Waterman.

His continued connections to his former universities are documented through his correspondence with Lord Robbins and Michio Morishima of the London School of Economics and with William Baumol and Fritz Machlup of Princeton University. Former students, academics in their own right, are also represented in the correspondence including Margaret Schabas, Evelyn Forget and Sandy Peart.

There is also extensive correspondence with Nobel Laureates Sir John Hicks documenting their collaborative research on Ricardo in the 1970s and with Paul Samuelson of MIT. Other Noble laureates represented include R.H. Coase, Kenneth Arrow, Arthur Lewis and George Stigler.

Teaching

Series consists of records relating to Dr. Franklin’s teaching duties. One course in particular is very well documented – JAM 2012: Ancient Materials. According to Dr. Franklin, this course was quite innovative. It was intended for incoming graduate students in Anthropology or Materials Engineering, taught through the School of Graduate Studies. The respective departments – Archeology and Anthropology and Materials Engineering MMS - carried the JAM courses in their calendars. The students worked together in pairs, one student from each discipline. In contrast to the usual joint courses taught by different staff members in a sequence of individually-taught sections, the JAM courses were truly co-taught, i.e. both instructors were present at all sessions, which consisted of annotated conversation between two professionals, linking theory and practice.

Records in the series include course and project descriptions, exam questions, lecture notes, and student projects. The series also includes an extensive collection of teaching aids, including teaching slides (depicting museum/archaeological artifacts), 4 boxes of micrographs, and several boxes of artifacts used in instruction, including various rocks, Chinese spade coins, Canadian coins and stamps, and metal samples.

This series also contains 2 files on students who were supervised by Dr. Franklin.

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.
