Show detail Hide detail

This series comprises Collard's research notes and reference material pertaining to the history of Montreal, and more largely, Quebec and Canada. The files are arranged alphabetically by subject and title and hold research notes, newspapers and clippings, copies of extracts from secondary sources, printed material, correspondence from readers with enclosures, and other material accumulated for writing his weekly column on Montreal history. The broad subjects documented at the national level include economics, labour, law, social welfare, military history, medicine and hospitals, departments of the federal government, and biographies of leading politicians. At the provincial level there are files on communities and places in Quebec, politics and legislation, social conditions, and home life. Some of the more heavily documented Montreal subjects include businesses and businessmen, church history, cultural history, hospitals, doctors and medicine, McGill University, Jewish history, military history, schools, sports and games, transportation, welfare services, charitable organizations, national societies, biographical information on prominent Montrealers, and descriptions of city streets and neighbourhoods. The series includes sections of original issues of the "Illustrated London News", the "New York Albion", and the "Graphic" newspapers dating from the late 1800s.

This series overlaps considerably with the "Of Many Things" and Subject Files series.
