To Fonds Description

Peter C. Newman fonds. Eighth accrual. 1956-2008. – 1.52 m of textual records. USB key. -- The original arrangement has not been completely retained. Moved files are noted.


Izzy: The Passionate Life and Turbulent Times of Izzy Asper, Canada’s Media Mogul
Boxes 181-184
Chapters from drafts were initially arranged and placed into folders, with file names correlating with chapter numbers. The original arrangement was not chronological in accordance with assigned chapter numbers. The archivist has rearranged these files so that chapters are in numerical order. The archivist has also arranged drafts so that they are in the approximate order in which they were created. Because chapter numbers shift throughout the writing/publication process, the archivist has also made note of the chapter number assigned to the final published project. Likewise, the archivist has noted when full drafts of chapters have been moved from Newman’s research notes into the manuscript series. Correspondence regarding specific manuscript corrections, pulled from Newman’s research notes, are also included in this series. Archivist has divided full manuscripts (Boxes 183, 184) into sections.
