              Frederick O. Robinson fonds
              Fonds · 1937 - 1963

              Frederick O. Robinson was born in Port Arthur, Ontario on Aug. 2, 1903. He attended public and high school in Port Arthur and then served his apprenticeship to the machinist trade in the C.N.R. shops. He worked for 25 years as a skilled machinist in the Port Arthur shops of the C.N.R. until his election to the Ontario legislature in 1943. He continued to work as a C.N.R. machinist between sessions of the legislature, and after his election to the office of mayor, he worked in the C.N.R. shops on weekends.

              He entered public life in January 1943 when he was elected to the Port Arthur Board of Education. In August of the same year he was elected to the Ontario legislature as C.C.F. member for Port Arthur. He was M.L.A. for Port Arthur until his defeat in 1951. In civic affairs, he remained on the Board of Education until 1946 when he was elected as alderman. In 1949, he became Mayor of Port Arthur; he remained in this post except for 1952 when he was defeated until 1955 when he resigned to become personnel manager for the Public Utilities Commission. He left active political life at this time. He resigned from the Public Utilities Commission in 1966 because of ill health. In July, 1969, he died.

              The Frederick O. Robinson fonds comprises 7 feet of correspondence, clippings, pamphlets, articles and other material and is contained in seventeen transfer cases. The folder titles in the main are those designated by Mr. Robinson. Some re-arrangement of the material has been effected in order to comply with the folder titles. Since the folders themselves were in no apparent order when .they were donated to the university, the following arrangement was thought to be most suitable for research purposes:
              I. Pre-1943 Period
              II. Political Affairs (relating to the C.C.F.)
              III. The Ontario Legislature and Provincial Affairs, 1943-51
              IV. Provincial and Local Affairs.
              V. Local and Municipal Affairs.
              VI. General
              VII. Miscellaneous

              Norman D. Stephen fonds
              CA ON00159 P054 · Fonds · 1959-1975 (predominant 1966-1969)

              The Norman D. Stephen fonds, consisting of handwritten correspondence, agendas, minutes and financial reports, as well as contract negotiations and agreements, bulletins, and press releases, attests to Norman Stephen’s duties and obligations as a financial secretary with the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers (IUMMSW). The fonds also reflects some of the processes of union fund management and includes submissions on housing and Workmen’s Compensation Board issues, as well as wage concerns, dues structures and pension funds. The 1967 merger of the IUMMSW with United Steelworkers of America (USWA) is also documented.
