The fonds documents Fischman's career as a translator of fiction and non-fiction works from 1968 to 2009. It includes material relating to the authors she has translated, including: Max Gros-Louis, Jacques Hébert, Marie-Claire Blais, Jules-Paul Tardivel, Georges Sioui, Pierre Fournier, Lise Bissonnette, François Gravel, André Major, Michel Tremblay, Roch Carrier, Yves Beauchemin, Élise Turcotte, Hubert Aquin, Larry Tremblay, Christiane Frenette, and Suzanne Jacob.

The material in the fonds includes manuscripts and typescripts of translations, unbound monographs, correspondence with publishers and authors, photographs, reviews and critical reception, newspaper and journal articles, audio cassettes, videocassettes, diskettes, a poster, and a hockey sweater. Annotations on the typescripts reveal Fischman's interactions with her various editors and, often, with the works' original authors, many of whom reviewed and commented on the translated drafts. Similarly, typescripts and proofs found on the verso pages of manuscript materials reveal the parallel editing projects of both Fischman's editors and Fischman herself, as well as her involvement in a number of supplementary projects.

In addition to translation, the second accession documents Fischman's work as editor of the Calliope collection for Éditions du Roseau, while the third accession contains material pertaining to Fischman's role as the Literary Editor of the Montreal Star from 1977 to 1978, and her involvement in working groups and awards juries for the Writer's Union of Canada, Friends of the Canada Council, YTV Achievement Awards, and W.O. Mitchell Prize committee. This accession also incudes publicity material concerning Fischman's translated texts, which consist primarily of newspaper and magazine clippings.

Fischman, Sheila, 1937- : Translator, editor and journalist, Sheila Fischman, was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in 1937. She earned a B.A. in chemistry and a M.A. in anthropology from the University of Toronto. Fischman began her career as a literary translator, almost by accident, when she moved to Montreal and worked on improving her French by translating Roch Carrier's "La Guerre, Yes Sir!" Pleased with the result, she decided to try to have the book published. It was accepted for publication by the House of Anansi, a small Toronto publisher, and became a bestseller in English Canada.

During the 1970s, the Canada Council Translation Grants program was established to encourage the translation of Canadian literature into both English and French. This program contributed to Fischman's prolific translation of over 100 literary works. She is instrumental in bringing the works of Québecois writers - Hubert Aquin, Marie-Claire Blais, Roch Carrier, Georges Dor, Michel Tremblay, Anne Hébert, Jacques Poulin, Yves Beauchemin and others - to English Canada. Active in the Montreal and Quebec literary scene, Fischman was the Literary Editor for the Montreal Star from 1977 to 1978, a position from which she retired in order to pursue her career as a freelance translator and columnist for Canadian newspapers and journals, including the Globe and Mail and the Montreal Gazette. She was also the co founder of the periodical Ellipse: Oevres en traduction/Writers in Translation, and also supplied entries on Quebecois writers for Oxford University Press' Supplement to the Oxford Companion to Canadian History and Literature (1972) and the New Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature (1982). From 1975 to 1978, Fischman contributed to curriculum development in Canadian schools as the Working Group Coordinator for Central Canada (French) with the Writer's Union of Canada's Educational Project. During the 1980s and early 1990s, she also worked as editor of the Éditions du Roseau's Calliope collection which presented works of English Canadian authors in French.

Fischman received a Canada Council Translation Prize in 1975 for her translation of "The Wolf" by Marie-Claire Blais and "They Won't Demolish Me" by Roch Carrier, and she became the first winner of the Félix Antoine Savard Prize from Columbia University in 1989. Fischman has twice been a finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award for Translation: in 1994 for her translation of Élise Turcotte's The Sound of Living Things and again in 2007 for Jacques Poulin's My Sister's Blue Eyes. She won the Award in 1998 for her translation of Michel Tremblay's "Les Vues animées (Bambi and Me)". In addition, Fischman won the 1999 QSPELL Translation prize and, in the same year, was a Giller Prize finalist for Am I Disturbing You?, her translation of Anne Hébert's Est-ce que je te dérange? Her translation of Pascale Quiviger's The Perfect Circle was also shortlisted for the Giller Prize in 2006.

Sheila Fischman has received two honorary degrees: from the University of Ottawa in 1999 and the University of Waterloo in 2001.
