The Transgender Oral History Project emerged out of a recognition that there were significant gaps in queer histories of the prairies, one of which being a tendency to overlook transgender experiences. By recording oral interviews with trans people, this project aims to help historians and community members gain a richer understanding of the lives and work of trans individuals in the region. Since labels for understanding diverse experiences of gender such as “transgender” have changed significantly in recent history and will likely continue to do so, these interviews focus heavily on personal understandings of gender identity.

Fonds reflects Schipper’s career in Canadian Theatre as a director and artistic director in several venues across Canada, with a particular focus on his role as Artistic Director of the Royal MTC from 1987-2019 in Winnipeg, MB. The records pertain to the multidisciplinary aspects of the role of an Artistic Director, including a mixture of administrative, dramaturgical, technical, and personal material, related to the production of individual shows, the planning of theatrical seasons, and the day-to-day business of the theatre’s box office. The records also pertain to Schipper’s extramural research and awards and early education.

Fonds is divided into three series. Two series divide 20.01: records from Schipper’s life and career prior to, and those during his tenure at the Royal MTC. The former is primarily comprised of records related to his work as Artistic Director at Huron Country Playhouse, 1985-1987, but also includes documents from his early education and other dramatic projects. Both series include personal notebooks, working scripts, production notes, design drawings, correspondence, reports, awards and certificates, and ephemera from various theatres and dramatic productions. The third series, 20.04, consists of audio recordings used in the dramaturgical process of the Royal MTC’s productions. They primarily include interviews between Schipper and psychiatrist Dr. Michael Eleff discussing the psychology of plays and their characters, but also some music, other interviews, and radio programs.
