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.

Confederation of Canadian Unions

Included are various records related to the CCU's conventions, national executive board meetings, and the CCU's policies and constitution. There are also several files on Canadian union members, including the Canadian Textile and Chemical Union, the United Oil Workers of Canada, the Sudbury, Mine, Mill and Smelters Workers Union, and the Canadian Association of Industrial Mechanical and Allied Workers, among others. Moreover, the sub-series contains issues of Canadian Union News, Confederation of Canadian Unions Bulletin, C.T.C.C. Le Travail, and the CAIMAW review.

Educational activities

Subseries consists of records kept while Dawson was Superintendent of Education in Nova Scotia, administrative materials, and other records related to his educational career. As Superintendent of Education in Nova Scotia, Dawson kept two notebooks of journal entries and general observations on Nova Scotia schools (box 39). About 35 cm of purely administrative materials (boxes 41-44) were retained by Dawson in his private papers. Most of the correspondence concerns routine matters of Corporation business, staff and student affairs, fund-raising and buildings, but there is a special file on the controversy with Prof. J. Clark Murray over co-education in 1888. Other materials include copies of documents on the early fortunes of McGill, Dawson's Normal School record book, with lists of students and some financial accounts (1859), an office memorandum book (1863-1878), and manuscripts of addresses delivered at university functions, including his resignation speech and a substantial address on the education of women. Dawson also assembled an "Educational and Biographical" scrapbook, largely of news clippings by him or about his principalship (box 39).
