Scope and content
Senator Norman M. Paterson was born in 1883 in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. He began working for his father’s grain business before becoming the owner of multiple elevators, and his own grain and transportation business, N. M. Paterson and Sons. He was appointed to the senate in 1940 by then Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, and retired in 1981.
Outside of the senate and his business, Paterson was charitable, giving to multiple organisations focusing on education and church programs. He became the first Chancellor of Lakehead University in 1965, and held the position until 1971. He died in 1983 at the age of 100. He founded a charity in his name through the Presbyterian Church which is still operating. He was a key figure in Lakehead University's history, and he helped open the library on the Thunder Bay Campus which is named after him.
These records include text and photographs related to the Library's connections with Paterson.
