Departmental / Subject / Committee Files

Distinctly separated from Constituency Files in the original order were files pertaining to specific topics. Some, but not all, reflected Mr. Ritchie�s work on various Parliamentary Committees. They have been arranged alphabetically and cover Mr. Ritchie�s entire career in office. General research material of a printed unsolicited nature have not been retained whereas every effort has been made to preserve source material directly pertinent to Mr. Ritchie, his work and interests.

Gordon Ritchie Fonds

  • MSS 035 (A1980-011)
  • Fonds
  • 1968-1970

The Ritchie Collection consists entirely of the office files he generated as a Member of Parliament from 1968-1979. It does not contain any of his medical papers, files on his patients, or any other documents not directly related to his political career.

Unlike many other Members of Parliament collections, Ritchie’s has a very complete run of his speeches and parliamentary reports through the years which, more than any other records, provide a strong sense of his politics, views and philosophies. His constituency files provide the researcher with a fairly good prospective on the attitudes and concerns of western Manitobans throughout these years.

Ritchie, Gordon

Constituency Files - 1971-1976

These papers contain correspondence between Ritchie and his constituents as well as reports and other information-laden documents, questionnaires, and studies of many kinds on a multitude of topics. They have been arranged alphabetically and grouped in two chronological sub-series: 1971-1976 and 1976-1980. As with all other files in the Ritchie collection, the original filing orders have been preserved as much as possible.
