Scope and content

Dr. Morton has long been active in professional associations relating to his academic and military interests. He has been a member of the Canadian Commission on Military History (chairman, 1976-1984); the Canadian Historical Association (he sat on its council from 1974-1980 and served as president in 1978-1979); and the journal, History and Social Science Teacher (member of its executive board from 1978 to 1991). He has also been a member of the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society since 1977; of the Royal Society of Canada, to which he was elected in 1985; of Canada’s National History Society (member of its executive board since 1994); and of the Association for Canadian Studies (also a member since 1994).

There are no files in this series on Canada’s National History Society, or the Association for Canadian Studies (they date from Dr. Morton’s departure for Montreal). Most of the files relate to Dr. Morton’s involvement with the Canadian Historical Association and History and Social Science Teacher. The files of the former contain, in part, correspondence and a brief (which Dr. Morton drafted) relating to attempts between 1979 and 1981 to pass a federal freedom of information act.
