282. Kelly, Matilda Kelly, Matilda There are a number of well-known images of the destruction and damage caused to the people and communities of the Burin Peninsula by the tidal wave which swept its coasts on November 18, 1929. The three images which form this collection are not as common as some others, but they were part of a number which were printed as postcards and made available for sale. These three were kept by Matilda Kelly, a young schoolteacher in Point au Gaul in 1929, where she witnessed the destruction of the tidal wave first-hand. The images captured here are representative of the types of damage caused by the tidal wave, providing a visual accounting often lost in textual and oral reports. MF-334

291. Laurence, Joseph Laurence, Joseph This album of photographs appears to be the work of Simeon H. Parsons (1844-1908), one of Newfoundland's earliest professional, self- - taught and award-winning photographers. The photographs are very much in the style for which Parsons was noted and cover a wide - geographic area, including the Burin Peninsula and coastal Labrador, in addition to more easily accessible areas such as St. John's and eastern - Newfoundland communities. Internal evidence dates some of the images to around 1884-1885, and given that the recipient of the album, - Joseph Laurence, died in October 1886, it would appear safe to assume that the album was compiled during those middle years of the 1880s. - Some of the images may date earlier, possibly from stock photographs Parsons may have had on hand. - - The album contains some rare images of St. John's streets and buildings that were later destroyed in the 1892 fire that ravaged most of the - downtown of the city. It also contains images of people at work in the fishery, particularly on the coast of Labrador; various communities on the - Burin Peninsula and on the east coast of Newfoundland; rural scenes, including rivers, lakes and waterfalls; icebergs; groups of people, - particularly several gatherings of Methodist clergy, some of whom Laurence was probably responsible for sending to Newfoundland. - - The album should prove beneficial to researchers interested in architectural and municipal development, the development of Methodism, the - history of photography, the work of Simeon Parsons, and a variety of other subjects pertaining to Newfoundland in the latter half of the - Nineteenth Century. - - - COLL-199
292. Lawton, Sidney Lawton, Sidney This is a small but interesting collection of a man who spent half of his working life ministering in Labrador - and rural Newfoundland. It consists primarily of his writings, ranging from sermons for Good Friday services - on the seven words from the Cross to an essay on the Italian invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia). Much of the - material is directly related to Newfoundland and Labrador, however, including a report of the rectory fire at - Cartwright (1928), the search for the ill-fated Koehler expedition (1932) and the need for improved medical - services in Fortune Bay during the mid-1930s. The collection provides a personal perspective. It is - valuable both as a record of a Church of England cleric working in relative isolation, and as a social - commentary upon the lives of the people he served. - COLL-147

294. Lewis, Rev. John Lewis, Rev. John Lewis, John, 1788-1866--Diaries; Methodist Church--Clergy--Newfoundland and Labrador; This fonds is comprised of the journals of Reverend John Lewis, a Methodist minister who spent six years (1814-1819) in Newfoundland as an itinerant missionary, stationed in a settlement but with responsibility for a number of other communities in the surrounding area. He spent approximately one year each in (Lower) Island Cove, Old Perlican, Hant's Harbour and Port de Grave. He was then assigned to a new charge based at Burin, the furthest west a missionary had been sent. The journals provide very detailed accounts of Lewis' experiences and of the people he meets in the course of his work, and should be of value to those interested in the communities where he served and the people who lived there; genealogists should be able to obtain much useful family history. His journals should also prove to be of interest to those researching early church history and missionary work in Newfoundland, and should be of particular interest to linguists, as Lewis seems to have created or developed his own system of spelling words, often phonetically.

295. Leyton, Elliott Leyton, Elliott This collection contains the literary and academic papers of Elliott Leyton. At the beginning of his - career, Leyton researched and wrote - about subjects that his academic discipline dictated were worthy of study. Over the years, he has eased - his way into areas that held more of a - personal interest for him. Through this collection, a researcher can trace Leyton's growth from his - academic beginnings in the anthropological - research of an Irish village, through his research of a Newfoundland village of Irish descendants and - subsequent publications on industrial - disease, on through to his interest in juvenile delinquency and then to mass murderers and children who - murder their families. During the 1970s - when he was writing about industrial disease and its affect on two Newfoundland communities and about - juvenile delinquency, theatre groups all - across Canada were writing and performing plays based on just such community-based issues. Leyton - collaborated with the Mummers Troupe - to dramatize his book "Dying Hard". (See Coll-126.) He later collaborated with Codco to - produce "We're No Match for No One," (see Coll-125) - based on The Myth of Delinquency. - - - - In most instances there are field notes, transcriptions of interviews, working notes, several drafts, - manuscripts and revisions. There are some - audio and video tapes. There is also a rich collection of correspondence with friends, colleagues, agents - and publishers, which gives insight into - the development of the books and the influences on the writer. This collection would be of interest to - students of sociology, anthropology, - criminology, drama and writing. COLL-008

299. Lord Taylor of Harlow Lord Taylor of Harlow In 1985 Lord Taylor of Harlow offered his papers to Memorial University and the gift was welcomed - despite the fact that only a minor portion of the collection relates to his tenure as University President, - from 1967-1973. - - The significance of this collection rests in its integrity, spanning as it does a full life-time, and representing - all facets of Taylor's varied career, from his school days, through his medical training at St. Thomas's - Hospital, and his early clinical and psychiatric work. His wartime career with the Home Intelligence - Division of the Ministry of Information and the Wartime Social Survey generated two boxes of reports - which provide a wealth of material on conditions in wartime Britain. - - In political life he held advisory roles in the fields of health, housing, education and commonwealth - relations. - - Specifically these papers chronicle the life of a 'man and his times'. As a Labour M.P., an administrator - and a doctor, Taylor was in the fore-front of much of the social and political reform which took place in - post war Britain, and it is to the biographer and social historian of this era that the collection will prove its - value. - - Of particular interest are the Commonplace Books, a carefully annotated collection of medical, political - and social notes, and news cuttings including many of his Parliamentary speeches, in scrap-book form, - from 1954 to 1974. - - The collection includes personal papers from his career as Director of Home Intelligence and Wartime Social Survey in the British Ministry of Information (1940-1944), as Labour M.P. and policy advisor on National Health, as Medical Director of Harlow Industrial Health Service, as conciliator of the Saskatchewan Medicare debate (1962), and as President and Vice-Chancellor of Memorial University of Newfoundland (1967-1972).
