Scope and content

This is the largest series within the Scriver fonds, and consists of the geneticist’s professional activities within and beyond McGill. The textual materials in this series consist of myriad evidences of Scriver’s professional activities, including but not limited to: typewritten (1960-1998) and e-mail (2003-2008, copies) correspondence covering Scriver’s many accolades, including his entry into the Canadian Who’s Who? Database in 1997, speech transcripts, a transcript of the Nathaniel Comfort History Project interview (2007-8), plans and correspondence regarding the founding of the DeBelle Laboratory in the Montreal Children’s Hospital (1960-73), his participation on a number of MUHC committees (1976-98, with gaps), and his involvement in the Human Genome Project and Advisory Committee (1995-2005 with gaps), as well as records pertaining to Dr. Scriver’s extensive travels abroad for conferences and lectureships. This series also includes artworks and approximately 70 dated and undated black & white and color photographs (1955-2005) accumulated by Scriver over the course of his career, including headshots, contact sheets, staff photos, class photos, and candid images. Finally, the Professional Activities series includes a miscellany of graphic materials including awards and plaques awarded to Scriver (1975-2010), records pertaining to the Scriver Family M.D./Ph.D. Scholarship Symposium (2003), holiday cards and personal correspondence (circa 2000) included in the accrual from the McGill office
