The sub-series consists mainly of correspondence relating to the Canada Day activities from 1970 to 1981. Included in the sub-series is a set of "Authors' Files" containing letters of invitation, biographical information and photographs relating to authors who were invited to support the ACW by participating in Canada Day 1981. Among the invited were Margaret Atwood, Pierre Berton, Earle Birney, Anne Hébert and Antonine Maillet. The sub-series also includes copies of the ACW constitution, financial documents, inventory lists for both the library and tape collections and a few of the CAA's ACW files. The files are organized into three groups (General Files, Canada Day Conference Files and Authors' Files). The files of the first two groups are arranged chronologically. The "Authors' Files" are arranged alphabetically. The arrangement of the groups reflects the order in which the files were found.

Academy of Canadian Writers : The Academy of Canadian Writers (ACW) was developed as an organization dedicated to the stimulation, promotion, and teaching of Canadian literature. The Academy was the initiative of high school teacher Jim Foley who, in an effort to celebrate Canada's national literary heritage with his students, instituted the Canada Day Conference - a series of informal seminars and workshops. The first Canada Day Conference was held in 1970. Originally intended just for high school students, subsequent gatherings grew to include the participation of prominent writers, librarians, and publishers. In 1975 a substantial increase in the number of participants forced the Canada Day Conference to move from its facilities at Port Colborne High School to Hamilton's Mohawk College, where it existed as a department of Mohawk College with a budget allocated by and under the general control of a College Division Head.

Following this move, the ACW undertook to broaden its scope and function and became a co-ordinating centre for Canadian studies in literature, prior to the formal establishment of Canadian Studies programs at the university level. The ACW was incorporated in 1978. Following incorporation, funding was supplemented by grants from the Canada Council, the Ontario Arts Council, corporate and private donation and revenues from the sale of teaching notes, videotaped interviews, registration fees and membership subscriptions. In 1981 Mohawk College withdrew all financial and administrative support from the ACW which, conscious of its precarious financial state and administrative limitations, then affiliated with the Canadian Authors Association. Effectively absorbed with branch status in 1983 (see file: Correspondence. -- 1995; Letter from Eleanor McEachern to Fred Kerner, November 6, 1995), the CAA assumed administration of the Canada Day activities and acquired the ACW library, audio and videotape assets and archives. The ACW library was eventually integrated into the CAA's own library.
