Sheila Butler fonds

  • CA UMASC MSS 493 (A15-42)
  • Fonds
  • 1971 - 2012

The fonds consists of 12 series: Wrings (General), Publications (Articles), Expenses (Personal and A+CC), Art Exhibitions and Gallery Correspondence, Art Gallery Pamphlets, Inuit Art, Baker Lake Soapstone, Baker Lake Inuit Art, Grant Applications, Art and Cold Cash Website, Photographs and Images, and Audio Recordings.

The Sheila Butler fonds contains archival materials documenting the process and the presentation of the Art and Cold Cash (A+CC) exhibit. A+CC was created in Baker Lake, Nunavut by three senior Canadian artists, Sheila Butler, Jack Butler, and Patrick Mahon, and included Inuit writer Ruby Arngna’naaq, and artist William Noah. A+CC was designed as an event to display art that is concurrent with the capitalist market. By combining art from the Southern and Northern parts of Canada, the project combined contemporary art, Inuit culture/art, and discourses surrounding money. A+CC was showcased in art galleries across Canada, Arctic settlements, the University of Edinburgh, and the Toronto Pearson InternationalAirport in order to reach out to viewers who might not normally visit art galleries.

The archival materials on the Baker Lake consists of documents produced by David Orlikow, M.P. from Winnipeg North, who presented to the House of Commons his overview of an early dispute over the availability of soapstone in the Baker Lake area.

R. A. Storch Fonds

  • CA UMASC PC 334
  • Fonds
  • [193-] to [195-]

Two of the films (one black & white, one colour) feature the visit of King George VI of England and Queen Elizabeth to Winnipeg during their Royal Tour of Canada in May 1939, mainly showing people preparing for the Queen and King to drive by in their car and the related festivities. School groups of children are shown, including some from what appear to be Somerset School and Cecil Rhodes School. There is a duplicate of the colour film. The other three films (two black & white, one colour) mainly feature student track and field competitions. The colour reel includes a ceremony on the steps of Cecil Rhodes School with boys in blue cadet caps, girls singing, and an unidentified military dignitary. The track meets appear to include students from Cecil Rhodes School, Daniel McIntyre School, and likely other schools. Two of the films show the former Osborne street stadium, while the other appears to be at either a school or community sports field.
Photographs document water levels of Winnipeg flood from April - May 1950; a small group of unlabelled photos depict a family of three, possibly of Storch, and scenes around a dam (possibly in Pinawa).

Eaton Company through the early 1900s until 1938, included in the collection is correspondance between him and executives of the company.
