TC 17

Title: University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections fonds

Dates: 1982-1986

Extent: 9 audio cassettes

Administrative History: The University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections is a unit within the University of Manitoba Libraries. Established in 1978, the Department has as its mission "to acquire, catalogue and preserve special research collections which further the educational aims of the University of Manitoba, and to promote and provide wide access to them."

The University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections Discovery Hour Series saw a number of notable people speak on a variety of topics. Some of these talks were associated with the donation of materials to Archives & Special Collections.

Custodial History: The items in the fonds were created by University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections. They were accrued separately from 1982 to 1986, and were assigned separate collection numbers at that time. However, since they share a common provenance, tape collections numbered 17, 23, 26, 33-40 were amalgamated into TC 17 in January 2002. Each collection can still be found under its original retrieval number.

Scope and Content: The fonds consists of recordings of addresses given at the University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections Discovery Hour Series. The fonds includes addresses by Charles C. Bigelow, November 16, 1983 (TC 17); J. M. Bumstead, April 28, 1982 (TC 33); J. C. Gilson, April 17, 1985 (TC 26); William F.
