Photograph of a train carrying settlers from South Dakota. The train is stopped with people standing on top and in front. The number 52 is marked on the side of the train.
The fonds is separated into 10 series: biographical material, correspondence, minutes and other documents from literary organizations, design work, newspaper clippings, the Bird’s Hill Park Series exhibition, sketches, artwork by Denis Nokony, and Turnstone Press publications for which Eva Fritsch did design work, photographs and negatives. The fonds also includes a photograph collection featuring 234 photographs, 499 negatives, 125 sketches, and 2 oversize materials.
Textual records, notes, transcripts and programming from the production of two University of Manitoba's CJUM-FM radio programs: Gay Christian Forum and Gaysweek.
The fonds contains a scrapbook of Helen McGavin's time as a student at United College from 1941-1944. It contains items pertaining to Helen’s academic achievements and social life. Items in the scrapbook include newspaper clippings about events on campus and classmates, including photos; invitations, programs, and pamphlets from school and social events; personal telegrams and letters; and class registration documents. It also includes small objects such as a pencil, candle, and key, as well as dried flowers. Her scrapbook makes for an interesting time capsule, while her enthusiasm and willingness to participate in whatever she could established a lifelong pattern.
The books, pamphlets and exhibit catalogues were accepted as donations from Mrs. Mol for the intrinsic value of the volumes in relation to religious art or to Ukrainian art, or in relation to Mol’s art, and his thought process towards the making of art. Most of the publications have been integrated into the Chancery in-house library. The 328 still images include many of Mol’s sculpture subjects, living photos of individuals like Pope John Paul II, Pope Paul VI, Metropolitan Michael Bzdel, Cardinal Yosef Slipyj; many photos are of Mol’s completed bronze sculptures; a large number are of his early church decoration in Beausejour, Brandon and Winnipeg; some are of his stained glass work in Winnipeg. Three sketches are of church decoration; one is an unfinished ink on glassine (?) Christ figure; two are white ink on matte board, of apostles; the fourth is pastel on paper, a portrait of Taras Shevchenko. The copies of sketches are of Metropolitan Ilarion and A.Y. Jackson. The postcards are religious by theme, predominantly Catholic, many of art in European heritage repositories. The holy cards include many Christian symbols. The poster is of the Caritas Dinner in Mol’s honour, 2001. The unfinished mosaic of Christ’s face is a conservation risk.
The fonds consists of Leo Mol’s biographical information, his correspondence, awards and honorary degrees, his documentation regarding art work and the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden, and his exhibitions and tributes. Photograph collection consists mostly of Leo Mol’s photographs and slides of his sculptures, paintings and drawings.
