Scope and content
The records of Harold Adams Innis that comprise B1972-0025 were given to the Rare Book Department late in 1972 to complement those of B1972-0003, a previous accession. B1972-0025 contains files pertaining to Innis’ career both within and outside of the University of Toronto. The correspondence in B1972-0025 gives a detailed documentation of Innis’ interests in the academic community.
Most of the records appear in the order in which they existed at the time this file list was prepared, that order was the work of M.Q. Innis and colleagues of H.A. Innis who arranged records from the Innis home and his office in the Department of Political Economy. The University Archives acquired this accession at some point from RBD, perhaps with the other accession, B1972-0003.
Alphabetical correspondence files are followed by subject correspondence files relating to the University departments or committees. Undated speeches, lectures and articles are arranged before those which can be identified. Review articles which have no author are arranged alphabetically by title, followed by identifiable reviews arranged alphabetically by author. Articles and reviews follow a chronological arrangement from 1918-1953; many of these are drafts or duplicates of those in B1972-0003.
