Scope and content
This series consists of correspondence files that Prof. Nelson kept with many of his students, both graduate and undergraduates students, as well as some with colleagues. The bulk of the correspondence is made up of requests for references and the resulting response to the requestor and to third parties. Many files contain notes on the evaluation of the student’s work or advice on research relating to their thesis. On occasion, student works are found in the files as well as works from other historians requesting comments or advice. It is clear from the extent of this type of correspondence that Prof. Nelson fostered life long relationships with some of his students that continued to request his help and direction long after they left the University of Toronto. Files are alphabetically arranged by surname.
