190.	Frecker, G.A.		The papers of George Alain Frecker were generated during the years 1934 to 1979 when Frecker worked with the Newfoundland Government as a public servant or served as an elected representative. Frecker had a long and distinguished career in the field of education as university lecturer, senior civil servant, Minister of Education and university chancellor. His papers reflect this long association with Newfoundland educational institutions and policy makers. - - The collection consists mainly of papers, correspondence and other material relating to the development of education in Newfoundland. There is a large collection of speeches (some of which he wrote for others), lectures and essays written by Frecker covering a variety of topics from events of the day to the dominant themes and issues in education. He wrote forewords and articles for many school yearbooks and journals and delivered numerous graduation addresses. As an educator he was a member of many education associations both locally and nationally. - - Two important educational influences are found throughout these papers: Frecker's adherence to the Roman Catholic faith and his affinity with the French islands of St. Pierre et Miquelon. Both Catholicism and bilingualism are evident in much of his work. Predominant themes which re-occur in his writings are the development of vocational education, audio visual education (especially the introduction of radio and television in the 1950s), and the role of religion in the Newfoundland school system. - - From 1964 to 1971 Frecker was Minister of Provincial Affairs. Here he was able to put into effect several projects that had long been of interest to him. The papers from this period reflect his involvement in developing several historic properties including Castle Hill in Placentia, the Newman Building in St. John's and the Norse site in L'Anse aux Meadows. There is correspondence with Burnham Gill, the provincial archivist, who supplied Frecker with copies of historical documents relating to the history of Newfoundland. - - There is a small amount of material related to the Liberal Party, mainly provincial party conventions and Frecker's three election campaigns. There is a small amount of personal material, photographs and blueprints. - - Frecker was essentially dedicated to the serenity of academe rather than the turmoil of politics: this is evident in his papers. They present a fairly complete picture of his career as an educator. They will be of interest to historians of the Newfoundland education system especially during the change from Commission of Government to Canadian province. -	COLL-193

191.	Frecker, Helena		This small collection of papers consists of personal material, educational material including her Master's thesis from the University of Toronto and lecture notes from her days teaching at Memorial University College, detailed household accounts, records of the Independent Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE), and speeches and essays which she wrote. The household accounts cover the years 1933 to 1953 and provide a detailed listing of all the goods and services, from a pound of butter to a school uniform, used in the Frecker house and their cost. Although a small collection it provides an interesting glimpse into the life of one St. John's woman in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.	COLL-192

192.	Freeman, Charles		Postcards, photogaphs, travel diaries and correspondence documenting Freeman's years as United States Foreign Service official at St. Pierre, 1898-1907. Charles Freeman was United States commercial agent and consul at St. Pierre from 1898 to 1907.	COLL-294

193.	Frew and Tessier		These two photograph albums contain black and white photographs, mostly of St. John's and - surrounding area, and were probably collected by the Frew family of St. John's. They appear to be taken - around the turn of the century and contain several good images of St. John's after the Great Fire of 1892. - On the inside back cover there is written "G.J. Tessier, Amateur photographer". - - - The albums were apparently also used as scrapbooks and contains paper images of, - possibly, - Africa. - -	COLL-276

195.	Frost, Charles Sydney		The photographs in this album were collected by Charles Sydney Frost during his service with the Royal Newfoundland Regiment in the First World War. Most of the photographs were taken between 1914 and 1918. They are snapshots of Regiment officers while in the United Kingdom and France. The majority of these men were from "B" Company and it is likely that the photos of these men were taken while C.S. Frost presided over that company as Captain. Also contained in the album are reproductions of the 12 Newfoundland stamps that were issued to honor the Regiment's service in World War One.	COLL-346

196.	Froude, Donald		This collection of black and white photographs and colour postcards belonged to Donald Froude, who lives in New York. His father was born in Newfoundland. The photographs depict Newfoundland scenes and events.	COLL-317

199.	Gard, Peter		Peter Gard first deposited his journalistic papers with the Archives and Special Collections on December 14, 1989. These papers were generated during the 1980s and reflect the author's career as a contributing writer on predominantly Newfoundland subjects to various newspapers and magazines. The Collection consists of a variety of research notes, research material, drafts, and essays which provided background information for the articles written for these publications as well as originals and copies of the articles themselves. Through this Collection a researcher can discover information on a multitude of issues, as well as trace the varied career of an eclectic writer.	COLL-146

200.	Gardiner, Dr. Sylvester		There were many reports written about Newfoundland for and by British government officials in the 1600s - and 1700s, particularly about the feasibility of settlement and the effect settlement might have on the very - lucrative fishery conducted by the mercantile companies based in the West Country of England. One little - known report was this one, written by Dr. Sylvester Gardiner in 1785. One possible reason for its obscurity - is its recommendations in favour of settlement, something the West Country merchants had discouraged. - Gardiner's report is a very positive one, strongly supporting settlement, the development of judicial and - governmental systems, and promoting agriculture and timber cutting. It presents an optimistic picture of - the potential of Newfoundland as a valuable part of the British Empire, particularly with the recent loss of - the American colonies.	MF-035
