This fonds contains material that documents G.M. Simpson's interests and activities during his career at the U of S. Of particular note is the extensive collection of photographs by John Diduck and Rudolph Kaul collected by Dr. Simpson documenting Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, the university and in particular the Department of Crop Science and the Crop Development Centre.
The collection contains one black and white photograph taken in 1913 of a steam tractor threshing outfit and team in the Naisberry, Saskatchewan district. Printed on a postcard backing, the photograph contains information on the individuals depicted on its reverse. The photograph was from Robert Attrill's personal collection.
This fonds contains the autobiographies of Tony Wilson and his brother, Walter Wilson. Both accounts recall life on a homestead near Bengough, Saskatchewan just after the turn of the century, as well as their terms of service during World War II. The autobiography by Tony Wilson includes several copies of family photographs.
The collection contains one scanned copy of a black and white photograph depicting the descendants of John Taylor standing outside of a Taylorside home.
The fonds contains scanned copies of black and white photographs from Mary Walcer's private collection. The original photographs date from 1917 to the 1930's. They were scanned at 300 dpi with 16 million colors. The images are of the Maryville S.D #2790 and the Maryville district near Gronlid, Saskatchewan.
This fonds includes material related to the pre-history of the college, and in particular the activities of the Newman Society, which was formed by a group of Catholic laymen, with its major work to be the establishment of a Catholic college at the University of Saskatchewan. Other records are: minutes, reports and correspondence of the Principals/Presidents, the Corporation, the Faculty/Administration Forum, and the student organizations: Newman Club/Centre and St. Thomas More Students Association. Some of the records, including photocopies of relevant documents from other archives, were acquired by then college archivist Fr. Alphonse de Valk during the late 1960s and early 1970s. In cases where de Valk is clearly the compiler, it has been so noted in the file list. Photographs consist of views of the white house (original and expanded), the construction of the stone building in its three phases (1953-1969), interiors, student activities and special events in the college over the years. In most cases the creators of the photographs are unknown.
