Collection search - Canada in Concert collection [textual record]

Acquired by donation and purchase from private citizens, organisations, and antiquarians. The majority of the programmes from the Montreal region acquired before 1994 were collected by Eric McLean. A large portion of those from Toronto acquired before 1994 were donated by John Kraglund, and a portion of those from Ottawa for the years 1959-1980 were donated by Lauretta Thistle. These programmes donated by these critics are annotated.

The arrangement of the Canada in Concert collection is geographic. The first series (Canada tours and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) encompasses musical performance activities that are pan-Canadian or which involve more than one province. This is followed by series for each of the 10 provinces, and a combined series for the three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut). Finally, there is one series (Canadians abroad) for concerts involving Canadians in foreign countries.
