Sir Charles Tupper fonds [textual record (microform)]

A large part of the Sir Charles Tupper Papers was given to the Public Archives in 1926 by Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, a son and literary executor. These had been used for "The Life and Letters of the Rt. Hon. Sir Charles Tupper, Bart" edited by Rev. E.M. Saunders (1916), and for a supplement by Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper (1926)., On the advice of Sir Joseph Pope a portion of the papers was retained by Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, consisting chiefly of his own correspondence with his father. This portion, with letterbooks, journals and memoranda was transferred to the Archives in 1953 from the University of British Columbia through the kindness of R.H. Tupper, Q.C. In 1966, an additional 1m of Tupper Papers were presented by Misses Jessie C. Tupper and Frances Tupper of Toronto., The two paintings of Sir Charles Tupper and his wife dated 1888 by John Horsburgh have been acquired in 2006 from the great-great-grand-daughter of Tupper, Dorothy Dunlop.
