Fonds consists of correspondence, letterbooks, agency files, policy records 1871-1966, mortgage records 1844-1969, managing director's annual reports 1887-1882, annual reports, actuary's reports, account books, agency bulletins, newsletters, and advertising material reflecting the activities of one of Canada's largest insurance companies. Fonds includes Acts of Incorporation 1871-1931, Board of Directors' agenda books 1894-1908, attendance books 1906-1947, letter books of John Kay Macdonald 1871-1906, agency agreements with H.J. Johnson (Montreal) 1871-1904 and 1932, and numerous mortgage files including grants, mortgages, deeds, leases, applications for loans, releases, assignments, abstracts from registry, probate records, certificates and correspondence relating primarily to Ontario properties and some in Manitoba. The fonds contains the Company's first mortgage ledger 1879-1898 and a Numerical index (1-511) for the years 1878-1888. The company's expansion is documented by files on branch offices across Canada as well as foreign branches located in China, Mexico, United Kingdom, United States and Venezuela. Most of the fonds pre-dates 1945.

Fonds also consists of promotional films, videos and sound recordings for the company as well as sound recordings of various company meetings, 1943-1992.

Confederation Life, beginning in 1927, commissioned Canadian artists, including John David Kelly (1862-1958), H. B. Goodridge (b. 1903- ) and others, to execute paintings of selected Canadian historical scenes. These works were in turn reproduced as calendars and in advertising campaigns, and re-issued in two portfolios as Confederation Life's "Gallery of Canadian History". The original paintings hung in Confederation Life's head office in Toronto, and were sold along with the building to Rogers-Cantel Ltd. in 1997. Copies of these works were transferred to the Archives from 1930 to 1970.

This description reflects only the textual records and moving image and sound portion of the fonds. Other media descriptions will be entered by the staff of the Visual and Sound Archives Division.

Confederation Life Insurance Company : Confederation Life Insurance Company (originally the Confederation Life Association) was one of the oldest life insurance firms in Canada dating from 1871. The company was formed by Senator William McMaster, president of the Bank of Commerce, Henry Beatty, later president of the Bank of Toronto, Sir William Pearce Howland and John Kay Macdonald. Sir Francis Hinks became Confederation Life's first president. William McCabe was made the company's first general manager and was replaced by Macdonald in 1875 when the latter was made managing director. Macdonald served Confederation Life for 57 years as managing director, vice-president and finally president. The firm was run by a succession of Macdonalds with John Kay's son, Charles Strange Macdonald becoming president in 1930 and his grandson, John Kenneth Macdonald serving as president from 1947 to 1969. From its formation Confederation Life quickly expanded across Canada, establishing branches in major centres across the country before 1880. The first overseas branches opened in the Caribbean and Mexico (1902), followed by London, England (1904). In the interwar period the company's overseas network was expanded to include offices in South America and the United States (1926), and Asia (1932). In 1958, the company became a mutual insurance company owned by its policy holders. In 1994, the fourth largest Canadian life insurance company was placed in receivership.
