The fonds is divided into twelve series created by donor: curriculum vitae; published articles; notes and correspondence for the translation of Rare and Commonplace Flowers; correspondence regarding Uncommon Wealth; correspondence and contributors’ submissions to the Carol Shields issue of Prairie Fire and to Carol Shields: The Arts of a Writing Life; reading scripts for unpublished lectures and addresses; an unpublished short story and unpublished novel; a file marked “miscellaneous” by donor, containing cards, certificates, poems and some correspondence; letters to donor from writers and critics; two colour photographs and copies of books written or edited by donor.

Significance: Donor’s career as a critic, editor, and translator and as an author of fiction is the primary focus of fonds, as is his professional contact with other academics, writers and critics. His career as a university administrator is alluded to through the text of his convocation and introductory addresses. Neither his practice and philosophy of teaching, nor his personal life, is apparent in this fonds.
