Personal records and biographical writing

Subseries contains personal records including notebooks, autobiographical writing, scrapbooks, memo books, and sketches. Dawson's juvenile writings are largely essays on philosophical and religious topics, but also include his fictional story "Indian Tale" (c.22-c.23). Some scientific lecture notebooks survive from his student years in Edinburgh (c.29). Dawson composed a short autobiography as well as a memoir of his father (c.22), but the major biographical document is his scrapbook of "Family Records" (c.37), containing genealogical materials, Dawson's Edinburgh lecture tickets, his marriage certificate and letter of appointment to McGill, his C.M.G., certificates from learned societies, letters from scientists and public men, printed articles and reviews, and domestic mementos. There is also an obituary scrapbook compiled by his children Anna and William. Dawson's skill as an amateur artist is revealed by 18 cm of pictorial materials, largely pencil or ink sketches of Nova Scotia or Scottish landscapes. His travels in Europe and North America from 1855 to 1886 and briefly noted in pocket memorandum books (c.30), but his journey to the Near East in 1883-1884 is more thoroughly documented in his "Eastern Travel" scrapbook (c.39)

Puretex Knitting Company Limited

This sub-series documents the 1978 yearlong strike of over 200 workers at the Puretex Knitting Company, a garment factory in Toronto, Ontario. The strike was a result of the installation of surveillance cameras in the factory, including a camera at the entrance of a women's washroom. Most of the workers were immigrant women from southern and eastern Europe. The Canadian Textile and Chemical Union (CTCU) declared that the cameras infringed on the workers' privacy and violated their human rights. Although a small sub-series, the materials document the negotiations carried out by the CTCU, the locations of the surveillance cameras, and the strike itself.
