Archival fonds
Introduction
Presented in the Fonds Descriptions section are some of the private archival collections and fonds of the holdings of Laurentian University Archives. These fonds and archival collections are arranged by broad subjects or major themes. Furthermore, the subject or theme does not represent an exhaustive analysis of what topic areas are in each fonds and the list does not include all fonds or archival collection of the holdings.
The groupings are in alphabetical order.
In accordance to our policy on processing of archival materials, and in compliance to the Rules for Archival Description (R.A.D.) the archival fonds are described in the language of the producer. Occasionally the description can be in the language of the documents instead of the producer.
Marthe Brown, Archivist
What is an Archive?
Recorded information, regardless of date, form or medium, that is of continuing value.
What is a fonds?
The whole of the records, regardless of date, form or medium, that are created, received, used, and automatically accumulated by an individual or corporate body in the performance of their activities or functions.
What is a collection?
An artificial accumulation of documents of any provenance brought together on the basis of some common characteristic (e.g., way of acquisition, subject, language, medium, type of document, name of collector) and treated as a descriptive unit under a common title. Collectors may be those outside the archives who assembled the material or in some cases may be an archival repository itself.
