  • Collection
  • 1968-1969

This collection consists of two parts. One folder contains collected press clippings and newspaper articles published about the case in the local newspapers of New Brunswick during the period 1968-1969. It consists mostly of letters to the editor in support of Professor Norman Strax and articles that followed the course of the case, from its inception to the student occupation of his office in support of his fight to be reinstated. Further letters to the editor record the position of the student groups fighting the University executive and council on the issue of identification cards and the power to censure professors for the free expression of ideas and public support of the students' position.

The second part is a bound volume of the 1968-1969 editions of the MacKenzie House, University of New Brunswick, fraternity house newsletter, "The Stag", and its reports on the Norman Strax affair. In addition there are numerous internal memos and letters from the University administration and the student groups involved in the case. As well, there are copies of reports and public statements of position from the Student Defense Society (SDS).

H. Norman Lidster fonds

  • NWM IH 2005.22
  • Fonds
  • 1920-1968

The public access copies of the films are on compact discs, all are silent films. Between 1928 and 1930 Norman Lidster bought a black and white 16 mm movie camera which he used to documents his travels throughout North America and notable city events in New Westminster. Norman also became a member of the Amateur Cinema League (ACL); this can be seen is some of his films. In 1938, he began using colour film. Along with shooting his own movies this collection contains a number of commercially produced films that Norman Lidster bought (or otherwise acquired) over the years. Most of these commercially bought films are different types of travel videos or news reels. These purchased films range from events shot between 1910s to 1958. The films shot by Norman Lidster have been shot between 1928 into the 1960s. These movies are a combination of home movies of Norman Lidster’s travels in North American, various family scenes, and important events in New Westminster, including: May Days 1931 to 1963 (excluding 1939, 1960 and 1962), Royal visits 1939, 1951, and 1959 to New Westminster, official opening of the New Queensborough Bridge, and the 1950 opening of Irving House as a museum. At least two of these films might have been shot by the Springate family (CD 500 and 171, however this has not been confirmed). The New Westminster Archives has 59 metal canisters with 58 reels of film. Of these 58 reels of film, 48 have been digitized. Some of the digital versions of these films contain more than one reel of film (these have been clearly marked). Furthermore, some of the footage shot be Norman Lidster is mixed on the same film as the commercially produced films that he bought, with 3 films having mixed contents, 28 films are shot by Norman Lidster and 12 films are commercially bought.

The fonds consists of the following series: Home Movies; May Day Home Movies; Commercially produced films; and Combined home movies and commerically produced films.
