          Fonds Jocelyne Villeneuve
          CA ON00159 P036 · Fonds · 1974-1997

          Les documents de ce fonds d'archives témoignent des réalisations, des activités et intérêts de Jocelyne Villeneuve. Ses cahiers de presse, en plus de documenter sa carrière d'écrivaine, témoignent de la reconnaissance qu'elle a eue auprès du public, mais aussi des liens qu'elle avait créés avec le milieu littéraire. Ainsi, les nombreuses lettres et poèmes reçus ou encore dédiés à Jocelyne Villeneuve en sont une preuve. Il y a aussi plusieurs coupures de presse, communiqués de presse, lettres et autres informations sur la maison d'Éditions Prise de parole. Son implication dans le milieu nous est révélée par le cahier "compilation" dans lequel on retrouve des dessins et lettres d'étudiants d'une école primaire où elle donnait des ateliers sur l'écriture. Le fonds d’archives contient aussi les versions des différents écrits de Villeneuve, sa correspondance avec les maisons d’édition, avec des écrivains avec qui elle a développé des liens d’amitié. De nombreuses fiches de recherche et de la documentation sur des thèmes précis documentent la recherche faite par l’auteure pour l’écriture de ses récits et autres textes. Mentionnons aussi que certains dossiers abordent plus spécifiquement les problèmes de santé de Madame Villeneuve.

          III. The Ontario Legislature and Provincial Affairs, 1943-51
