Arthur Rolland Boyd Lockhart was born in Richmond, Quebec. He was educated in Cowansville and graduated from McGill University with a B.A. before heading to Teacher's College, Columbia University, where he attained his M.A. He was principal at several high schools, including Cowansville, Buckingham, Huntington and Sherbrooke, before becoming the lecturer in elementary education and mathematics at the Macdonald College School for Teachers, McGill University. It was a post he would hold for 24 years until he retired in June, 1943. Lockhart held an Order of Scholastic Merit, second degree, and was an honorary life member of the Provincial Association of Protestant Teachers.
The fonds was transferred from the McGill Rare Books and Special Collections Department to McGill University Archives, January 6, 1988.
The fonds consists of the teaching instruction papers of A. R. B. Lockhart and mostly comprises lectures on topics in teaching, such as "Organization and Planning of Instruction", and 7 chapters of what appears to be an instructional book (chapters 1, 2, 5, 10, 12, 13, 14). In addition, there are examples of time tables for four classes, a checklist for school duties, and an example of a program for an 8 grade school titled "Department of Rural Education" from Teachers College, Columbia University.
