This series documents Sharma’s teaching activities and contains courses, syllabuses and reviews for courses given at the University of Sidney (1980), McGill University (1992, 2008-2009).

The publications in this series comprise the final drafts of Scriver papers accepted for publication in print journals, including research, editorials and reviews of other scholarly efforts, co-authored papers, and revisions to the textbook The Metabolic & Molecular Bases of Inherited Disease. Also included here are 3.5 boxes of Scriver’s own monographs, including editions (I-VI, with gaps) of the aforementioned textbook and a number of related publications. The periodicals in this series were kept in loose chronological order by Scriver himself and range from 1960-2009 (with gaps). These publications draw chiefly from Canadian and international journals, and focus on Scriver’s research in the field of genetics, metabolic deficiencies, and pediatric disease in a Canadian context. All publications are originals except where noted.

This series reflects Dr. Scriver’s career in the latter part of his career as Professor of Biochemistry and Genetics at McGill (2002-2009). The materials in this series consist of textual notes, overhead notes, lab schedules, syllabi, article clippings, readings, photocopies of lecture slides, PowerPoint printouts, and unworked exams. The nature of these records shows that Scriver maintained record of his lecture materials in the latter part of his tenure as professor, meaning that most of these materials span from the late 1990’s to 2013.

This series relates to William Feindel’s activities at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) post-1984. Included are records related to organizing office space at the MNI, the incorporation for the Brain 87 Symposium (1984-1988), as well as documentation on various projects and committees.

This series reflects the researching and writing activities of Dr. Charles Scriver in the field of genetics, biochemical genetics, and pediatrics. These materials are primarily textual and consist of correspondence covering his engagement in projects such as BioMarin (circa 2003) and the Human Genome Project (circa 1995 2003), pamphlets, working papers, grant applications and notices, and mixed media (stamps, graphs) reflecting Scriver’s research and laboratory practices. Here, Scriver’s demonstrated interest in PKU mutations in Quebec, genomics and myriad metabolic issues in children comes to the fore, and demonstrates the reach of Scriver’s influence in the field.

This series documents Trigger’s scholarly research activities, primarily from his years as a professor in McGill’s Department of Anthropology; as well, some scrapbooks, photos, and slides record his archaeological fieldwork in Northern Ontario when he was a student during the 1950s, as well as his time in Egypt and the Sudan as a professional archaeologist during the early 1960s.

Textual records include research notebooks from Trigger’s student days (Container 14, Files 589-590) and his research material for his biography of Gordon Childe, 1936-1993 (Container 8, Files 425-427). Trigger’s office library in McGill’s Leacock building contained reading notes, correspondence with author’s from books and journals housed in Trigger’s library, and clippings that were interfiled within the publications in the library, 1972-2006 (Container 10, Files 485-508). These files are arranged alphabetically by author or by publication. Further evidence of Trigger’s research activities and approaches to organizing research materials is found in a card catalogue tray that is alphabetically arranged by author. Additionally, reading notes that were organized by country/ geographical area of interest reveal the breadth and scope of Trigger’s research interests (Container 13, Files 565-572; Container 14, Files 591-594).

Scrapbooks containing photos, news articles, correspondence, and archaeological plans document Trigger’s time as a field work archaeologist. More specifically, a Sheek Island Scrapbook, Molson Fieldnotes, in 2 volumes, and hand drawn maps and notes of Nubia capture the essence of archaeological methodology, as well as the excitement involved in archaeological fieldwork, 1957 1985 (Container 19, Files 742-745). A file entitled Sheek Island papers, contains additional photos and newsclippings on this early excavation where Trigger participated as a student, 1957 (Container 4, File 208).
