Histoire administrative
From 1992 to 1995 the Stradbrook Senior Centre in Winnipeg offered a course for seniors on how to write their life story. This course was offered under the auspices of Age and Opportunity, a non-profit organization established in Manitoba in 1957, which aids seniors in a variety of ways beneficial to their daily life. These courses were taught by Tanya Lester. In 2002 the "Writing your Life Story" class continued to be offered on a thrice yearly basis, but was no longer taught by Tanya Lester.
Historique de la conservation
In 1994, the fonds was donated to University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections by Tanya Lester, the "Writing Your Life Story" class instructor, at the Age and Opportunity, Stradbrook Senior Centre. Before March 2002 this fonds was titled "Stradbrook Senior Centre - Age and Opportunity." The name was altered to better reflect the provenance of the fonds.
Portée et contenu
The fonds consists of 10 life stories of varying length written in Tanya Lester's "Writing Your life Story" class at the Stradbrook Senior Centre. The life stories chronicle a variety of topics including left-wing political life in the 1930s, the difficulties of buying a house during the depression and the grief caused by the loss of a spouse. All narratives concern Manitoba and range chronologically from 1920-1994. The fonds also includes two of Tanya Lester's syllabi outlining the structure of the course.
