Cree cassettes for Louis Philippe Vaillancourt texts

Sub-series consists of lessons recorded on 35 cassettes with spine label Cree A3 and 29 cassettes labeled Cree A5 ; These correspond to the textbooks "Cours de Cris: Première Degré," and "Cours de Cris: Deuxième Degré." Both texts are authored by Louis-Philippe Vaillancourt, and published by Les Presses de l’Université du Quebéc.
The focus of instruction is Cree as spoken on the east coast of James Bay, and lessons are presented with the participation of residents from Wemindji and Eastmain. Lessons on the A3 cassettes center on building a basic vocabulary through listening and repetition, lessons on the A5 cassettes concentrate on transitive and intransitive verbs. The sub-series also contains one folder of plastic sleeves holding 25 compact discs. Discs are labeled to correspond to audio cassettes in the A3 series, likely from an earlier format transfer project.

Instruction is in the N-Dialect, or Swampy Cree, spoken on the west coast of James Bay. Guidelines for applying lessons to the L-Dialect are given in audio.

Comic Valentines

The Comic Valentines sub-subseries contains 55 cards printed on cheap paper and are typically hand-coloured. The Comic Valentines sub-subseries consists of single-page greeting cards with woodcut images representing several stereotypes, usually poking fun at someone’s profession or appearance. They typically contain a woodcut caricature of the recipient and a short and usually offensive poem. Comic valentines, sometimes referred to insult valentines or vinegar valentines, were given to either poke fun at a friend or to offend someone who was very disliked. People who received these types of cards rarely kept them, therefore all the comic valentines featured in this series are blank and like stationer’s stock.

Stationer's Scraps

The Stationer's Scraps sub-subseries is comprised of 15 scraps of card. These consist of individual pieces of cutout card that have either fallen off existing cards, or which were meant to be used by a cardmaker in the fabrication of greeting cards. They are excellent examples of the small details that were included in the decoration of cards during manufacturing.
