Penny Petrone (1925-2005) was an Italian-Canadian teacher, author, researcher, and world traveller, who taught at Lakehead University's Faculty of Education. She made significant achievements in the field of Canadian literature, especially in researching and anthologizing Indigenous Canadian literature. In later years she also engaged in works of memoir, as well as philanthropy.
Historique de la conservation
Documents were donated by Petrone to Lakehead University: the papers were stored for some time before their formal donation in late 2004. Petrone was significantly involved in the original arrangement and file titling of the records, most of which has been preserved.
