Fonds consists of correspondence, minutes, photographs, briefs, studies, reports, committee papers, scrapbooks and memorabilia created or received by the CMHA's National Office. There are many gaps in the early administrative records of the organization. Photocopies of minutes of the Board of Directors from 1928 until 1949 were integrated into the fonds. The fonds includes the minutes and related papers of the various councils and committees of the CMHA including the Scientific Planning Council and the Committee on Mental Health Services (Tyhurst Committee). Various surveys and special projects conducted by the Association are documented in the records. Provincial surveys of mental institutions carried out between 1918 (Manitoba) and 1947 (Newfoundland) were very influential on national policies. Other surveys and related material in the fonds are the British Columbia survey of mental health resources carried out by the American Psychiatric Association in 1958-59 and the Toronto Psychiatric Survey in the early 1940s. Material from several studies conducted by the CMHA is found in the fonds, including the Regal Road School Study, 1929 - 1933 and the Shy and Recessive Children Study, 1937 - 1957.

Fonds consists of records obtained or created by ARF between 1951 and 1998 regarding the administration and operations of the Foundation as well as the pursuit of ARF goals in terms of research, treatment and rehabilitation services, prevention programs and services, and public awareness and knowledge. [ARF goals per "The Addiction Research Foundation at work" -- Toronto : ARF, 1971]. Although original order was maintained as much as possible, the Archives physically consolidated distinct groupings such as annual reports, research reports, and leases. Since original order often dictates meaning, it was decided to keep the physical order and in some cases to impose an intellectual order by assigning the records to subseries and narrower groupings which best seemed to represent the different creators’ intents. Fonds consists of the following series: Series 01, subseries 01 to 11 : ARF Executive Office Series Series 02, subseries 12 : Time Capsule Series Series 03, subseries 13 to 20 : H. David Archibald Series Series 04, subseries 21 to 22 : ARF People and Programs Photographic Series

The original three accessions for the fonds that were processed by the original archivist in 1997 are arranged in seven series: 1. Student essays and notes 2. Research and personal interest articles and speeches (a) 3. Basingstoke, England, Neurological and Plastic Surgery Hospital files (b) 4. Canadian Neurological Society files 5. Ontario Medical Association section on neurology and psychiatry files 6. Toronto General Hospital and Wellesley Hospital files 7. Education of medical students at Toronto General Hospital files The accrual to the fonds received in 1998 is arranged in nine series: 1. Research and personal interest articles and speeches (c) 2. Publications, reports, speeches, and lecture materials 3. Correspondence 4. Diaries 5. Patient case files (d) 6. Personal income tax records 7. Photographic records 8. Lecture slides 9.

Dr. Walters’ papers also include writings on the history of the Toronto General Hospital and over 400 patient case files from the Neurological and Plastic Surgery Hospital in Basingstoke, England. Fonds reflects the various administrative, research, diagnostic, and personal activities of Dr. Walters, as well as the development of psychiatric diagnosis, particularly in regard to the mental health of soldiers and the effects of war-related stress. See also the first and second series of the 1998 accrual to this fonds (i.e., “Research and personal interest articles and speeches” and “Publications, reports, speeches, and lecture materials”) for similar and related materials. See also the fifth series of the 1998 accrual to this fonds (i.e., “Patient case files”) for similar and related materials. Please note that the materials from this series have been physically and intellectually integrated with the materials of the second series of the original accessions of this fonds. This is due to an administrative oversight in which two boxes of materials from the 1998 accrual were misplaced until partway through the re-processing of the fonds in 2005. All other materials from the 1998 accrual have been arranged physically and intellectually in separate series as described above. Also due to this administrative error, there is some overlap in materials between this series and the “Publications, reports, speeches, and lecture materials” series (1998 accrual, series number two). See also the “Basingstoke, England, Neurological and Plastic Surgery Hospital files” series from the original accessions for this fonds (series number three).
