The Magazine section focused on the publication and distribution of the Scarboro Missions magazine, which ran from 1919-2018. The Audio Visual branch served to promote the work of mission by distributing the Society's multi-media mission education materials. And finally, the Mission Centre ran programmes such as seminars, courses, lectures, conferences, study weeks, retreats, and others.

            This series is comprised of historical overviews, publications, promotional materials, ephemera, newspaper clippings, photographs, and albums related to the Our Lady of Fatima pilgrimage. The collection predominantly concerns Fr. Patrick Moore’s world tours, though it also includes records relating to Msgr. McGrath and Fr. Alphonsus Chafe.

            The series is divided into the following subseries:

            3. Photographs
            4. Albums
            5. Artifacts

            Historical Overview:

            The Society’s relationship with the statues of Our Lady of Fatima begins in October 1947, when the Society granted Msgr. William C. McGrath a leave of absence to accompany the second replica statue on a pilgrimage to the United States. The statue was blessed by the Bishop of Leiria in Fatima, Portugal on 13 October 1947. On October 19, the statue was crowned by Archbishop Alexandre Vachon on the grounds of Ottawa University and Msgr. McGrath’s initial two-year Fatima pilgrimage in America began.

            In those two years, the Pilgrim Virgin statue visited more than fifty Dioceses in Canada and the United States, spreading the message of Fatima to approximately five million people across 900 churches, stadiums, and amphitheatres. Afterwards, Msgr. McGrath was to continue his pilgrimage for another 19 years.

            In April 1948, Fr. Patrick Moore, SFM, travelled to Fatima to obtain the third replica statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Fr. Moore had previously been associated with Msgr. McGrath’s pilgrimage in the United States. After obtaining the third replica statue Fr. Moore then travelled to Rome, where Pope Pius XII gave his Papal blessing to the statue on May 22. From here, the statue was transported by Fr. Moore to the Dominican Republic, where she was enshrined in Ciudad Trujillo (now Santo Domingo) for the first time on 6 June 1948.

            Fr. Moore’s pilgrimage would continue for 36 years, until 1984, covering nearly 300,000 miles by land, sea and air.

            Helen Sawyer Hogg fonds
            UTA 1383 · Fonds · [ca. 1890]-2004, predominant 1926-1993

            This fonds contains the personal and professional papers of Dr. Helen Sawyer Hogg documenting her contribution to professional astronomy, her high regard as a popular educator as well as her responsibilities as a parent, daughter, wife and friend. The records have been arranged into series either by type of record or to reflect a certain type of activity. Records documenting various aspects of her career are filed first, followed by papers reflecting her personal life.

            Included is both professional and personal correspondence; records relating to her activities on associations, boards and organizations; records such as draft manuscripts, correspondence and outlines and data relating to her publishing activities and research; papers relating to her education and her teaching responsibilities; as well as diaries and family papers series.

            Because Dr. Hogg's career spanned nearly seven decades during a time astronomy as a discipline was still developing both nationally and internationally, these records are not only useful to those researching Dr. Hogg's achievements but will be insightful to those researchers studying the development of astronomy as a science and profession. Moreover, Dr. Hogg was a woman in a field of science, which is still dominated by men. Those studying women's history may find Dr. Hogg's personal records a useful case study in one woman's success in a largely male dominated profession.

            Contained within the Helen S. Hogg personal records are three sous-fonds: Frank S. Hogg [1922-1952], her first husband and also an astronomer at the David Dunlap Observatory; Prof. Ruth Northcott [1932-1969], close personal friend and professional colleague of Helen Hogg, also on staff at the D.D.O.; Dr. C.A. Chant [193- - 194-], director emeritus of the D.D.O and head of the Department of Astronomy at the University of Toronto from 1904-1935. These sous-fonds are individually described and have been filed after the Helen Hogg personal records.

            The first portion of this series concludes with the programme for the Solandt Symposium on Organizing and Managing the Practical Application of Science to Problems in Peace and War (Queen’s University at Kingston, 1994), programs for dinners of the Royal Canadian Engineers 3rd Field Engineer Regiment and the Royal Canadian Signals 11th Signal Regiment, a presentation copy of Donald Y. Solandt’s Highways to Health, and a resolution by Donald M. Solandt (Omond and Donald’s father) to the Presbyterian Synod of Manitoba in 1915.

            The second section of this series consists of diaries and daybooks (largely the latter), beginning with an account of Dr. Solandt’s trip to Europe in the summer of 1929 while he was an undergraduate at the University of Toronto. Dr. Solandt kept only the occasional diary, of which three are represented in this series. The first is for May, 1945 as the war ended in Europe. The last two both cover his trip to Japan in October-December, 1945 to study the effects of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These diaries are followed by "CDRB's U.K. Visit" (undated); an account book of Solandt's visit to the United Kingdom in November, 1966, and his American address book.

            The remainder of the volumes in this series are daybooks and “pocket diaries”, of which Dr. Solandt created a large number. In the former, usually with the manufacturer’s label of as “diary” or “date book”, he recorded his appointments and, occasionally, his expenses and other related notations. These date from 1941, when he first went to Lulworth, to 1988. The volumes for 1945, 1947,1948, 1957, 1958, 1979, and 1986 are absent, either because they were never kept or, perhaps, were not written up in the same manner. For 1945, for instance, there are entries for January, June, and July in two different volumes, but none for the whole year. For two years (1956; 1971, where the second volume has "Mayo Muir" below Dr. Solandt's name and the entries are not in his hand) there are two volumes.

            The "pocket diaries" complement the appointment books. The earliest year represented is 1945, the latest, 1988. There are no volumes for 1948-1951, 1953, 1957, and 1959-1965. For 1958, there are also two volumes containing notes on Dr. Solandt's European trip in March and appointments for another in July, and "at a glance" volumes both for 1958 and 1959.
