Collection search - Professional correspondence [texual record]

Letters often pertain to more than one work. References to works is not provided in this series; however, 'see also' references to relevant correspondence is provided in other series. Some files may contain comments on the author's work in the form of notes based on conversations, financial materials, and the writings of other authors.

Where the author has both a personal and a professional relationship with a correspondent, the correspondence may be placed in more than one file. For example, Urjo Kareda is a long-time close friend who also produced her plays at Tarragon and at CBC radio. For each entry, 'see also' cross references are provided between individual names and organizations.

Within each subseries the correspondence is arranged alphabetically by correspondent and chronologically within each file. Correspondence of undetermined date is filed last and indicated by "nd" (no date). Where a file contains one or two letters, dates are listed, separated by a semi-colon. Where a file contains three or more letters, a date range is provided, separated by a dash.
