Arrangement

Fonds was organized by Professor Smith according to theme and chronology. Original folder labels have been maintained. The word "Ojibwe/Ojibwa" appeared with both spellings on folder labels; for the purpose of consistency in this finding aid, "Ojibwe" has been used. Folders beginning with Box 8 Folder 38 were received with a title supplied by the donor: "The British and the Mississauga, Mid - 18th Century to Mid - 19th Century."
