This series focuses on seminars, conventions and conferences that Jean Pierre Wallot attended and at which he presented or submitted articles. This series looks at his active involvement in scientific events, especially history. The records in this series also highlight Jean-Pierre Wallot's national and international influence as a result of his close and sustained ties to the scientific community. The series reveals his contribution to Canadian historiography through both the volume of his communications, and the diversity of the themes he addressed and the conferences he attended. On the international stage, he was particularly active at the Toulouse symposium (1968) on the abolition of feudalism, the Paris international conference on tithes (1977), and the 33rd International Conference of the Round Table on Archives (CITRA), entitled "Access to Information and Technological Challenges," held in Stockholm (1998). In Canada, he participated in particular in the Gray conference (1970) on religion in French Canada at the beginning of the 19th century, the Landon symposium (1977) on interdisciplinary perspectives on regional history in Ontario, the religious history conference on the role of the laity in the church in Canada (1970), the Stanley House conference on the urban history of the city of Québec (1976), the conference of the Royal Society of Canada on the evolution of social sciences in Quebec from 1935 to 1985 (1980), the conference of the Association des archivistes du Québec (AAQ) "Les archives : un lieu de conservation, de mémoire et d'information" held in Aylmer (1997), and the 3rd symposium of the Groupe interdisciplinaire de recherche en archivistique on "L'évaluation des archives : des nécessités de la gestion aux exigences du témoignage" held at the Université de Montréal (1998). Jean-Pierre Wallot's personal contribution over more than 40 years is documented in this series. The Communications, Conferences and Articles records contain some 50 documents that represent a major contribution to Canadian historiography, especially on the 19th century. This shows that Mr. Wallot remained very active and connected to the scientific community, even during the 1985-1997 period, when he was the National Archivist of Canada. In this series, there are documents on the National Archives of Canada, the National Library of Canada and the Canadian Audio-Visual Heritage project. Among other things, this series shows Mr. Wallot's participation in the Académie des lettres du Québec, in Université Laval's Centre interuniversitaire d'études québécoises (CIEQ), and in many conferences at the University of Ottawa, particularly at the Centre de recherche en civilisation canadienne-française (CRCCF), especially the Colloque international sur le système Atlantique and as part of a documentary television series on the French in America. There are also documents on France-Quebec conferences on economic history, oral history and archives.
This series contains correspondence, communications, articles, programs of conventions and conferences, statutes and regulations, personal notes, reports, press clippings, and a photograph. It contains originals, handwritten notes, copies and printed materials.
