Recherche dans la collection - Edward Winslow fonds [textual record (microform)]

The possibility that items not included in the 1955 microfilming may be found in the 1986 filming has not yet been investigated. The indexes on reels M-8023 to M-8025 include a table of concordance to identify the texts published by W.O. Raymond, and a table of Winslow papers published by W.O. Raymond which are not part of this collection.

The Winslow papers were first microfilmed in 1955, when in the custody of the New Brunswick Museum at Saint John, N.B. The papers had been placed on deposit there by Mr. E.P. Winslow of Victoria, B.C. and Mrs. E. Winslow-Spragge of Almonte, Ont. A copy of this microfilm (reels M-145 to M-151) was acquired in 1955. Custody of the Winslow papers was subsequently transferred to the Harriet Irving Library, University of New Brunswick, at Fredericton, N.B., where the papers were reorganized and a new microfilming was undertaken in 1986. A copy of that microfilm (reels M-7971 to M-7983) and of the index which serves it (reels M-8023 to M-8025) were acquired in 1987 as part of an exchange with the Harriet Irving Library.

In the first filming (reels M-145 to M-151), the papers were arranged in chronological order within two series, Volumes I-X contained papers of 1695-1877 placed on deposit by E.P. Winslow, while volumes XI-XIV contained papers of 1731-1866, placed on deposit by Mrs. E. Winslow Spragge., In the second filming (reels M-7971 to M-7983), the papers follow a single chronological sequence within series of correspondence, diaries, accounts and other records. The documents have been renumbered as part of the reorganization.

In view of the close working relationships between Ward Chipman senior and junior, and Edward Winslow, as well as the work of Archdeacon William Odber Raymond on both the Chipman and the Winslow papers, researchers should examine the Chipman papers (MG 23, D 1).
