André-Augustin Forget

  • CA ASHSB 0385
  • Fonds
  • 1853 à 1881

Ce fonds contient un peu plus de 2 000 pages de correspondance manuscrite ainsi qu'une nécrologie parue dans le Métis en 1881. On y trouve aussi une courte biographie de Forget composée par Robert Painchaud. Cependant, le fonds contient surtout de la correspondance de la part des amis de Forget venant surtout du Collège de Montréal ou de la maison-mère des Soeurs Grises de Montréal. Dans sa correspondance, Forget décrit ses voyages ainsi que ses déboires causés par sa maladie et son désir intense de joindre les rangs des religieux. Cette correspondance nous permet aussi de retracer une partie de l'histoire du Collège de Saint-Boniface et de l'Université du Manitoba. En outre, on y trouve une bonne quantité d'information portant sur les activités du Collège de Montréal et des zouaves pontificaux.

The textual materials within the collection include personal journals written by Mr. Stuckey covering the years 1935-2001. These journals are autobiographical and act as a key to the rest of the collection in that they provide general time frames and the motivations behind Mr. Stuckey's activities. In addition to the journals, the collection consists of copies of Mr. Stuckey's four books and a few papers he wrote for the committees and clubs he belonged to. Other textual materials included are a small amount of personal correspondence, and research materials on a number of topics such as the CPR and Brandon area history. There are also three scrapbooks created by Mr. Stuckey dealing with his various interests. The collection also contains certificates presented to Mr. Stuckey by a number of the organizations he belonged to, as well as his honorary degree from Brandon University and his Order of the Buffalo Hunt award.
