Scope and content
This series is made up primarily of research material gathered by Penny Petrone on Inuit and Arctic literature, culture, and history. This research was used mainly for teaching material and for the preparation of her book Northern Voices (1988), but as Petrone maintained and rearranged these files throughout her life, this series also contains more recent material as well.
This series is organized alphabetically, for the most part, and begins with the research material. Expect to find in this series photocopies of historical documents from federal and provincial archives across Canada, for example letters, articles, and reports written during the 18th and 19th centuries concerning Inuit and other Arctic peoples. Also expect to find a large collection of newspaper articles, original and photocopied, as well as excerpts from books and journals that cover Inuit and Arctic history, culture, and language. Many of the files contain handwritten notes by Penny Petrone.
Also in the series are materials related to the publication of Northern Voices.
Please note that while language relating to Indigenous peoples has been updated in the file titles and descriptions, the historical material itself contains terms that are considered outdated and insensitive. The Archives would be happy to receive input on the language used in file titles and descriptions.
