CA ON00343 TWS · Fonds · 1946 - 2007

Fonds consists of a scrapbook started by the Class President of the 1946 September Class, Margaret Smith, as well as a letter to the UHN Archives from class member Joyce Kinslow, outlining the origins of the scrapbook. The scrapbook was originally kept in a binder. Ms. Smith kept the scrapbook up to date for a span of 60 years by having a page or pages dedicated to each graduate. Graduates would send pictures and notes to Margaret throughout the years for inclusion on their page in the scrapbook. The scrapbook would be shared and updated at class reunions and subsequently came to be held by Joyce Kinslow. Affixed to the pages of the scrapbook are photographs, letters, typed and handwritten entries, business cards, announcements, newspaper clippings, obituaries, menus for official gatherings, and a commemorative booklet, <i>The Nurses’ Alumnae Association of the Toronto Western Hospital’s Diamond Jubilee 1898-1958</i>.

UHN News
CA ON00343 RG 2-UHN 3-3.2 · Series · 2000, 2004-2012
Part of University Health Network record group

Series consists of the printed issues of UHN News. UHN News made its debut on November 13th, 2000. It was a title change to the existing “Caring Together” weekly newsletter and continued its volume and issue numbering. The first issue of UHN News was therefore Volume 4, Number 46. UHN News was published by the Department of Public Affairs & Communications for and about the staff of the University Health Network, but the newsletter was also available throughout the hospital and therefore easily accessible to patients and visitors. Other than the change in title, the other key transformation for the hospital’s newsletter was that it was now also available as a “virtual” newsletter on the home page of University Health Network’s Corporate Intranet. While the same core news and information found in the paper version would also appear on the Intranet site, the online version was also designed to provide an expanded, more immediate, and more in-depth news service. Over time, the online news content increased as the content in the printed newsletter decreased.

There were occasional errors in the numbering of issues and volumes. Most notably in 2011, issues 1-10 are printed as Volume 15 while all subsequent issues starting with number 11 from 2011 are incorrectly printed as Volume 16. In 2012, the Volume is still listed as 16 but the issue numbering restarts at number 1. Therefore there would be two different issues listed as Volume 16, Number 11 etc., one from 2011 and one from 2012. The issues for April 10, 2012 and May 7, 2012 are also both listed at Volume 16, Number 4, and the next issue for July is listed as Number 6. For identification purposes it is therefore important to note the dates of the issues and not simply the volume and issue number.

The collection of issues is incomplete. No issues from Volumes 5-7 have been transferred to the Archives. Issues 1-19 of Volume 12 (2008) were not transferred to the Archives. Additional issues may be missing from each volume. The print newsletter ceased publication in 2012 with Volume 16, Number 11 (December 10, 2012).

The records from the Victims of Mining Environment (VOME) fonds include their constitution, correspondence, minutes, testimonies, photographs and newspaper clippings. The documents are directly related to the organization of VOME, and the campaigns of the group.

The documents inform researchers about all the campaigns and activities of VOME, and also about health-related work conditions on mine sites. This fonds highlights the determination of a group of women, mostly widowed, who fought on behalf of the widows and families of miners who died from industrial-related diseases and had not received any compensation. The fonds contains records that provide information about the leadership of Jeanne Larcher, who was instrumental in building this grassroots group. The records document the role of VOME in pressuring the Workers' Compensation Board to broaden the recognition of job-related diseases, and allowed for compensation to be awarded to surviving spouses and families. VOME's close working relationship with the Steelworkers Union and the Provincial NDP Party, and their contributions to the Ham Enquiry, the Minister of Labour, and the Workers' Compensation Board are also well documented.
