This collection contains notes, abstracts, and correspondence relating to 7 research articles by Dr. Turel, as well as a copy of her PhD thesis.

Dr. Lacalli's research involves the embryology and larval forms of marine invertebrates: principally, the development of the nervous system and the formation pattern in these organisms. His work has included theoretical, computer-based studies of how pattern and formation appear de novo in embryos as they develop, and microanatomical studies (primarily, via serial electron microscopy) of the developing nervous system in simple invertebrates near the evolutionary stem from which vertebrates, with their advanced nervous system, evolved. The process developed by Lacalli enabled an image of the whole body of their specimens in one micrograph, a relatively rare achievement and one which enabled him to analyse the nervous system in far more detail than was previously possible. This fonds contains an extensive collection of the electron micrographs taken by Lacalli, together with research notes, offprints, and other documentation relating to his research activities

This fonds consists of notes, record books, and reports concerning Rawson's limnological research: particularly his studies done in Prince Albert National Park (1928-1934); the national parks areas of the Rocky Mountains (1935-1941); Riding Mountain National Park; Reindeer, Athabasca, and Great Slave Lake; and Lac La Ronge, Amisk Lake, and the Churchill drainage system (1942 onward). Additionally, there is considerable correspondence with a number of Rawson's colleagues and with various national organizations. The fonds also includes speeches, maps, and lecture notes. There are also photograph albums which contain family images, images of research trips, and of various flora and fauna.

Documents in the fonds relate to the National Research Council - International Biological Program Natural Area Survey - Conservation Terrestrial Saskatchewan Region. Most regions of Canada had an IBP Committee working toward the establishment of a Natural Area system. The Sask. provincial program started in 1968. Fieldwork began in 1969 with 95 areas were selected for the inventory.

This fonds documents the career and interests of Cedric Gillott focusing on his teaching, research and writing activities. The material relates to both his academic career and his non-academic outreach activities with the wider community.
