- 1883-1969
The fonds contains correspondence tracing the family history back to 1883 up until Arthur Phelps' death in 1970. The fonds is particularly strong in relation to Phelps' broadcast career. The second series of scripts covers most of his radio broadcasts and television series. Series three has a strong component of speeches given during his prolific career as a public speaker, as well as several published and unpublished essays. There are scrapbooks containing copies of published and unpublished poetry dating back to 1905. The fourth series, Phelps' course notes, provides an interesting glimpse into what it would have been like to take one of his English courses. Series five consists of literary material sent to Phelps for his opinion. The final series consists of photocopies of newspaper articles about Phelps and some biographical information about Ann Phelps Hamilton and her husband, John David Hamilton.
The photo collection is not very elaborate but does include some shots of Phelps during various stages of his academic career and some C.B.C. publicity shots. It consists of 79 photographs and 3 negatives.
The tape collection has not yet been processed. Please consult the archives for further information.
