History
The Ontario Woodsworth Memorial Foundation was founded in Toronto in 1944 to honour the founder of the CCF party, James Shaver Woodsworth. Its aims were to sponsor research on social and economic problems in Canada in the twentieth century, to publish the results of such research in inexpensive pamphlets for a wide audience, to sponsor lectures, study groups and conferences, to operate a book club for its members, and to collect and preserve the historic documents of the early days of the labour movement, CCF and farm organizations.
