Show detail Hide detail

The fonds consists of records produced by Deborah and George Cowley to write the book entitled "One Woman's Journey: A Portrait of Pauline Vanier" published several times by Novalis Press between 1992 and 2000. The textual records contain mainly correspondence, notes, genealogy notes, research notes, transcripts of interviews, transcripts of Georges P. Vanier's letters, texts written by T.L. Tremblay on the First World War and by Colonel Strome Galloway (never published) and some press clippings on Georges P. Vanier's exploits (photocopies). The graphic material consists of photographs and figures used to publish the book. The audiocassettes were recorded during the 1990s in order to write the book and also for other projects. They consist of conversations with people of the Arche in Ottawa and Trosly (France) and also with Benedict and Thérèse Vanier, the son and the daughter of Pauline and Georges Vanier. One audiocassette was produced during Pauline Vanier's funeral on March 25, 1991. It includes accounts of friends who knew Pauline and Georges P. Vanier and accounts from several religious communities.

The fonds also contains a biographical sketch, background material, transcripts of interviews, and seven sound recordings of interviews related to the career of Lewis Perinbam, gathered for an as yet unpublished book.
