A collection of private papers created between about 1930 and 1964 - a Fonds, located in the Archives of Queen's University, had been identified as a collection of interest. A second request followed upon the results of the first.
Could I visit the Archives to examine these papers, and obtain paper copies of all entries found in certain categories, within several date ranges between about 1950 and 1964?
All of the relevant items found within the Fonds were examined in minute detail. All of the items in the Fonds were handwritten, using either a nib-pen and ink (earlier), or a ballpoint pen (later). Entries made in the various notebooks of interest were difficult to work through - year dates were not necessarily recorded, and manuscript entries were not necessarily in date sequence. Neverthless, 51 full colour copies on both 11" x 17" and 8 1/2" x 11" paper were obtained, and duly forwarded by postal mail.
"Thank you for your research report received on Friday. And thank you for all your diligent documenation efforts."
Could I return to Queen's Archives, to search for and obtain copies of some additional items in the same collection?"
Certainly! Done! And the resultant paper copies were immediately forwarded.
"Thank you for your very thorough report with copies...."
