This fond consists of master tapes and related materials from Kuvakulma, the monthly Thunder Bay-produced Finnish-language television programme.
Kuvakulma was produced between 1990 and 1998 by Pirjo Hirvonen and a team of volunteers, working at the McLean Hunter television station. The programme was an hour long, and focused on Finnish community happenings in Thunder Bay and Canada. Many episodes also featured segments from Finland, and brief English-language segments.
Pirjo Hirvonen was born in Finland, and moved to Thunder Bay in the 1980s. She has worked in multiple Finnish-language media in Canada, including writing for Canadan Uutiset, producing Kuvakulma and the Finnish-language religious programme Tiimalasi for television, and the weekly radio programme Ulkonainen for Lakehead University Campus Radio (CILU).
The records consist primarily of several decades of research data from the study of water quality in lakes. Prepas, who is Professor Emeritus of Natural Resource Management at Lakehead University, was also formerly employed at the University of Alberta. Much of the research was conducted on Alberta lakes, with some performed in Northwestern Ontario as well. A significant portion of the third accession consists of slides and print photographs showing research activities.
The records also include some teaching notes and course materials, as well as some correspondence and administrative material.
