Books

The series consists of published books owned by the Zoological Society of Montreal, which pertain to the activities and interests of the Society. Some of these works contain the authors’ signatures.

Newsletters

The series consists of materials used to communicate the Society’s activities, interests, and administration to its members and the public. These are primarily in the form of newsletters whose format and purpose varied throughout the Society’s existence. The series contains the Society’s newsletter The Lynx, a seasonal publication, for the years 1967-81, with gaps between 1968-71. The Lynx contains photos, articles, and book reviews relating to the interests of the Society, as well as administrative coverage of the Society’s meetings and member reports. In the mid-70s, The Lynx took on a longer, magazine-style format whose focus shifts to editorials, long form articles, and contains advertisements. After 1981, the Society began publishing the aptly named Newsletter in place of The Lynx, moving away from the highly polished magazine format. This series contains the Newsletter, published monthly from 1981- 2016. Although the name The Lynx was reinstated in 2000, the format remained casual. The newsletter entitled Bulletin is also contained in this series, published monthly from 1976-81 as a means of informing members about recent and upcoming Society events. Some files also contain event invitations, notices, and pamphlets on activities hosted by the Society.

Course Materials/Teaching

This series relates to Trigger’s teaching activities in McGill’s Department of Anthropology, 1964-2006. Included are detailed lecture notes, class outlines, examinations, and teaching evaluations, 1978-2005 (Container 12, Files 544-551, Files 553-555; Container 17, Files 724-741). These files are arranged by course number. As well, correspondence between Trigger and undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students is found in this series, 2001-2006 (Container 12, File 557; Container 10, Files 510, 552). The aforementioned files reflect Trigger’s commitment to his pedagogical role, his meticulous revision and record keeping of course curricula, and the high regard his students felt for him.

Some administrative correspondence and annual report excerpts from the Department of Anthropology reflect Trigger’s involvement with his department, McGill’s Board of Governors, and with other staff members, 1967-1996, 1981-2003 (Container 4, File 280; Container 12, File 558). Correspondence files, meeting agendas, and reports from the McGill Joint Committee on Religious Studies document Trigger’s activities on this committee, as well as his commitment to this area of study, 1997-1999 (Container 16, Files 634-636). A sabbatical leave application form, 2000-2004 (Container 14, File 582) and Trigger’s final office schedule are also located in this series (Container 8, File 309). Recognition for his contributions to pedagogy include correspondence files pertaining to the distinction of being named James McGill Professor, 2000-2006 (Container 7, File 325), as well as his final report for this period, 2006 (Container 15, File 610). A McGill Quarter Century Club photo is also included, in recognitions for 25 years of service at McGill, 1989 (Container 21).

Correspondence pertaining to the Killam Award, curriculum vitae, Trigger’s project outlines and proposals, 1988-2003 (Container 8, File 413; Container 16, File 638) and Trigger’s Professor emeritus file, 2006 (Container 6, File 317) reveal how he was regarded as a highly esteemed professor at McGill.
