- 1872-1979, predominant 1960-1979
This fonds consists mostly of letters and other material created and accumulated by Douglas Alkenbrack during his political career as a Progressive-Conservative back-bencher in the House of Commons from 1962 until 1979. There are a few items which pre-date 1962, mostly local history, his interest in Second Depot Dam, and his poetry. Mr. Alkenbrack's major federal concerns were the bilingualism and biculturalism issue (the "Bi and Bi Commission"); Canadian citizenship; capital punishment; gun control and pensions. Fonds is comprised of the following series: Bilingualism and biculturalism issues Newspaper clippings Personal papers, 1899-1979 (mostly 1962-1979) Office Desk Constituency office papers, 1978-1979 Constituency office papers, 1977-1978 Constituency office papers, 1976-1977 Constituency office papers, 1974-1976 Twenty ninth parliament Twenty eighth parliament
