Show detail Hide detail

The series consists of records relating to Irene Spry's scholarly and popular publications, including books (except for the two John Palliser volumes which are arranged in the following series), articles, conference papers, lectures, and encyclopedia entries. The files hold manuscripts, drafts, research and editorial correspondence, criticism, reader mail, offprints, book reviews, conference material, and other documents. Her publishing career spanned seven decades, from the early 1930s to the mid-1990s. As a result, the series is an excellent prism through which to view changing developments in the social sciences and Canadian historiography. The files for her articles and papers display the wide range of her research interests which embraced economic theory, hydro-electric development, conservation of natural resources, the fur trade, exploration and settlement of western Canada, and aboriginal-European relations, to name a few areas in which she published. The series holds more extensive documentation for her books "Natural Resource Development in Canada: A Multi-Disciplinary Seminar" (Ottawa: University of Ottawa Press, 1973), "Buffalo Days and Nights" (Calgary: Glenbow-Alberta Institute, 1976), "The Records of the Department of the Interior" (Regina: Canadian Plains Research Centre, 1993), and "From the Hunt to the Homestead" which was accepted for publication by the University of Alberta Press in 1998, but never came out in print.

The series also includes a sound recording of a speech by Spry on the topic of Canadian culture, 1989.
