This fonds includes correspondence with colleagues, including letters, faxes, and e-mails written and received from the 1960s through to the present (2023) that cover research developments in the field of Canadian archaeology, both provincially and nationally. Pertains to Dr. Meyer’s time as a student, at the Saskatchewan Research Council, and in the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology at the University of Saskatchewan and involvement with the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society. Any mention of photographs, papers, articles, maps etc. in the correspondence were not included in the donation and are therefore absent from the files, except where specifically noted.

The fonds includes paintings, sketches and memorabilia relating to the artistic pursuits and output of Olena (Sherven) Smith; and material relating to Tom Smith’s careers and interests, particularly archaeology and local history, as well as engineering and farming, including documentation of his job on the engineering crew for the Alaska Highway.
