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).

Addiction Research Foundation fonds

  • Fonds
  • 1910-1998, predominant 1951-1996

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
