2009 acquisition

The collection consists of roughly 20,000 audio disc records, all in 78rpm format. The recordings span predominantly from 1917 to 1942, when the Musician’s strike took effect due to disagreements between musicians and recording companies over royalty payments. Starting July 31st 1942, union musicians could no longer record. This lasted roughly two years, with various recording companies settling with the union at varying points between 1943 and 1944. Healey deliberately collected records from before this important date in musical history. The records are largely Jazz recordings, representative of the first twenty-five years of Jazz music, with Blues, Ragtime, Dixieland, Dance Band music, entertainment personalities, Swing, and many other genres and sub-genres of the era represented within the collection. Healey started collecting 78s by the time he was ten years old, and by the time of his death in 2008, had amassed roughly 30,000 78s of this kind. Upon his death, many of the more valuable records were sold to collectors from around the world, and thus this collection contains about 20,000 from his original collection. The recordings from this collection were used by Jeff Healey for his first radio show on University of Toronto’s CUIT, and his show on CBC radio, My Kinda Jazz, which also aired on Toronto-based radio station, Jazz.FM91.

The majority of the records are from American record labels, though there are also a fair number from the Compo Company Ltd., based in Lachine, Quebec, and its various offshoots, and some other Canadian companies. There are also some records manufactured in England, France and even Germany, though all are by American recording artists, and often by American record labels with branches abroad.

Based on the period, the majority of the records are likely shellac, not vinyl, but exact materials likely vary by manufacturer. There are also a small number of “flexible” records made from Durium, a patented blend of paper and resin, manufactured during the depression era, as cheaper alternatives to the standard shellac records. The collection also includes a small number of Edison Discs, also referred to as “Diamond Discs”, which are recognized for their distinctive quarter-inch thickness. Most records are unique in the collection, but there are some duplicates.

Prior to his death, Healey began digitizing his collection of records to mp3 format, and inputting information via iTunes. These digital files have not yet been acquired.

Gordon Sparling fonds

  • CA ON00349 1993.001
  • Fonds
  • 1919 - 1992

Fonds illustrates several facets of Gordon Sparling’s long and productive life. The bulk of the material was collected and organized by Sparling as he sought to research and document the development of the Canadian film industry (ca. 1915 – 1992). This material includes press clippings, book excerpts, photographs, negatives, audio reels, cinefilm reels, interview notes and correspondence with prominent figures such as F.R. ‘Budge’ Crawley, Roy Tash, Gratien Gelinas and Dick Bird. Sparling’s professional activities with the Ontario Motion Picture Bureau, Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau, Paramount Studios, Associated Screen News and National Film Board are well represented here through press clippings, promotional materials, notes, scripts, and other production documents [ca 1924 – 1966]. His service with the Canadian Army Film and Photo Unit is reflected through correspondence, photographs, negatives, newsletters and press clippings (ca. 1943 – 1989), as is his involvement with such organizations as the Canadian Film Institute, Cinematheque Canadienne, Cinematheque Quebecoise, Society of Filmmakers and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (ca 1950 – 1992).

Series 1: NHK, Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai
Tsuji Communications became the distributor/agent for NHK programs from Japan. The first series includes four popular TV series in Japan. The first includes the popular Japanese show Kōhaku Uta Gassen, translated to the Japanese Red and White Show. It is an annual New Year’s Eve television special produced by Japanese public broadcaster NHK.

Series 2: Tsuji Communications (TCI)
Susan and Roy Tsuji created the TCI Communication company, sometimes labelled as Tsuji Productions in 1980. Their popular Television series Hello Japan was a half-hour weekly program produced and hosted by Susan Tsuji. The episodes and clips spread from 1977 to 2000, including the short program Hello Toronto. It consisted of interviews, musical performances, and on-location shoots of community and public events (1984-2004). The Tsuji’s captured and recorded the visits of visiting dignitaries (such as the Prince and Princess of Japan). They capture interactions the Japanese Canadian community with federal and provincial politicians, conferences pertaining to the National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC), Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC), and the Redress Campaign and more. As the Tsuji Family was very well connected in their community, they could attract all the important guests to speak on all the topics of importance to the community.
Series 3: Tsuji Family
This series consists primarily of personal videos, documents and objects that once belonged to Susan and Roy Tsuji. The Tsuji’s main objective was to promote Japanese culture to Japanese Canadians, not only in media but to support local schools for children to learn the language and culture of Japan. The textual documents include the materials and textbooks used by the Language International (LI) schools. These textual documents include the international students’ textbooks, schedules, and journals, which students had to keep studying the Japanese language.
Series 4: National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC)
The collection also features video recordings and textual documentation of the Redress Campaign and the 10th Anniversary of the Redress. The NAJC negotiated the historic Redress Settlement on behalf of all Japanese Canadians who suffered injustices and acts of discrimination during World War II. Led by the NAJC, the movement sought to hold the Government of Canada accountable for the severe human rights violations suffered by the community between 1941 and 1949. Many Japanese Canadians were interned and deported, while others were sent to the sugar beet farms of Alberta and Manitoba. The property of Japanese Canadians was seized by the Government and sold without their consent. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and NAJC President Art Miki ended a successful campaign that led to the historic signing of the Redress agreement on September 22, 1988. The Tsuji family interviewed and captured key events and spokespersons from the NAJC for the Redress journey across Canada to Ottawa. Most notable interviews were held for Roger Obata, Joy Kogawa and Art Miki, the president of the NAJC.
The fonds includes footage of the march and progress to Ottawa, city hall, and the Redress rally to celebrate their victory. Interviews of Bob Ito, Roger Obata, various Prime Ministers, and supporters of the Redress campaign are also included in the fond. Footage of the Redress campaign spreads from 1983 to 1997. The last sub-series is the 10th Anniversary Banquet and Gala of the Redress, the gala was to thank the leaders of the NAJC, such as the tribute to Roger Obata.
Series 5: Television Commercials
The Tsuji family also obtained a vast collection of 30 seconds and 60 seconds commercials aired during their programs. Many created by Japanese companies such as the Japan Airline, Sanyo, Mita; and western commercials.
Series 6: Miscellaneous
The final series of the collections are the Miscellaneous. Overall, this collection is a balanced combination of entertainment, drama, local affairs, and international programming of interest to the Japanese Canadian community from the 1980s to 2001.
Please note that this fonds contains confidential information in relation to organizers names, and contact information. This fonds contains primarily textual documents to the Redress campaign, and the media format includes tapes such as Umatic, BetacamSP, and VHS. Also included is Roy’s vinyl collection, Hi8 cassettes, floppy disks, and photographs with colour prints of the singers from the Red and White show.

Stephen Ellis

Series includes material related to Now That April’s Here, a 1958 Canadian feature-film directed by William Davidson (later producer of Adventures in Rainbow Country and Matt & Jenny). The project was an early attempt to start a feature-film industry in Toronto independent of the CBC and NFB. Based on work by Morley Callaghan, shot on the streets of Toronto, and narrated by Raymond Massey. Criticized in Variety for its “amateur acting standards and limited prospect,” the film was a financial failure.
