Series 2 - Correspondence

2.66 m of textual records
1137 digital files (107 MB)

Series consists of both professional and personal correspondence, including correspondence with family, friends and colleagues. They have been arranged in the primarily chronological order they were in when transferred to the archives. Those which were labelled ‘colleagues’ have been kept in alphabetical order at the end. Included are professional correspondence relating to teaching positions, schedules and courses as a professor at the University of Toronto, article and book publications, professional conferences and associations, and the Toronto mayoralty race. Personal correspondence and cards from family and friends are also included.

B2019-0003 includes early correspondence with Adrienne Clarkson and Christina McCall; further (digital) correspondence with colleagues and friends. Clarkson would copy his email correspondence into Microsoft Word documents, and these sometimes include commentary from Nora in German. Also included is a folder of correspondence about Clarkson’s media appearances and interviews.
