Its primary mandate is to acquire, maintain, and preserve the records of the University, in any medium, which contain continuing administrative, legal, and historical value. The Archives constitutes the official “memory” of the University and represents the accumulated experience of our educational community. In addition to these official records, the University Archives also contain the private papers of the University staff whose subjects of research and teaching encompass the world.

The Mel Hurtig fonds consist of records created and collected by Mel Hurtig, and donated to the University of Alberta Archives. They document his varied and extensive professional and personal interests, and form a valuable addition to the holdings of the University’s archives.

SOURCE: The Mel Hurtig records were received as eight separate donations to the Archives; the most recent donation received in 2004. They have been brought together in a comprehensive finding-aid. Mr. Hurtig donated his records personally, interested in having his papers remain in Alberta and housed in the same facility as the records of his major publishing projects: The Canadian Encyclopedia and The Junior Canadian Encyclopedia. The fonds remain open, with future donations anticipated.

ARRANGEMENT NOTE: The Hurtig records are arranged in seven series and titled: Hurtig Business records, Committee for an Independent Canada records, Council of Canadians’ Records, Mel Hurtig and Politics records, Mel Hurtig as Author records, Personal records; and a final series of Audio-Visual records that encompasses aspects of all of the previous series.

The records are in good physical shape.

RELATED ACCESSIONS: Records of Hurtig Publishers’ The Canadian Encyclopedia and The Junior Canadian Encyclopedia are housed in the University of Alberta Archives and described separately from the Mel Hurtig records listed in this finding-aid. Researchers should also consult the card catalog for references to Mel Hurtig in other accessions.

DATE RANGE: 1930-2004

BIOGRAPHY

6 Mel Hurtig

Mel Hurtig was born in Edmonton on June 24, 1932 to parents of East European descent. He attended schools in Edmonton, but began his career at an early age, working in retail for a family business, A. & M. Hurtig Furs in Winnipeg. Returning to Edmonton in 1956, he founded a bookstore, Hurtig’s Books, in a small downtown shop. Within five years, Hurtig expanded his shop and introduced innovative ideas such as staging plays in the book store, hosting poetry and book readings and setting up areas in the shop for patrons to play chess, drink coffee and socialize. His business grew into one of the largest retail book operations in Canada, with three stores operating in Edmonton and total sales rising to just under $700, 000 a year.

Hurtig sold his book operations in 1972, and established Hurtig Publishers, with a plan to publish Canadian titles. The publishing company published many books, including such titles as: The Unjust Society, An Idiot Joy, and Alberta: A Natural History. Mel Hurtig was twice named Canadian Book Publisher of the Year. In 1980, Hurtig launched the largest and most ambitious project of his publishing career with a plan to publish a comprehensive Canadian Encyclopedia. The Canadian Encyclopedia was published in 1985, a revised and expanded second edition published in 1988, and The Junior Encyclopedia of Canada published in 1990. Mel Hurtig sold his publishing company to McClelland and Stewart in May of 1991; many of his titles remain in print and The Canadian Encyclopedia is available as a CD-ROM, as an online version on the Internet, and a special one-volume Encyclopedia was published to mark the millennium in 2000.

Alongside his career in book selling and publishing, Mel Hurtig was and remains a passionate nationalist and activist. His early political activities included leading a small Alberta group in supporting the 1967 candidacy of Pierre Trudeau for the Liberal leadership. He ran unsuccessfully for Parliament for the Liberals in 1972, but left the party in 1973. With a group of like-minded nationalists, including Walter Gordon, Jack McClelland, and Claude Ryan, Hurtig attended the founding of the Committee for an Independent Canada (CIC), and acted as its chair in 1973-74. The CIC founders were concerned about the high degree of foreign ownership in Canada and its persuasive influence on the lives of Canadians in the domains of politics, economics and culture. The CIC went on to raise a petition of over 170,000 names against foreign economic and cultural domination of Canada, and remained active until 1980. In 1985, Mel Hurtig founded a new national organization: The Council of Canadians (COC). Its focus was to raise public awareness and lobby against the “free trade” initiative in order to preserve and reinforce Canadian sovereignty. The COC, still in existence, develops policies, lobbies government, and strives to create public awareness around issues of Canadian nationalism and sovereignty.

Mel Hurtig announced his resignation from the Council of Canadians at its 1992 Annual General Meeting and his intention to launch a new political party: “The National Party of Canada”. He was elected leader of the party in November 1992, and the party’s policy book: A New and Better Canada was published in December 1992. The party grew quickly and managed to field 171 candidates in ridings across the country in the 1993

7 Mel Hurtig federal election. Less than a year later, the party was dissolved by its council amid allegations of financial mismanagement and other internal problems.

After leaving publishing, Hurtig became an author with the publishing of Betrayal of Canada (1991), a passionate appeal for Canada’s survival, and then a memoir, At Twilight in the Country: Memoirs of a Canadian Nationalist (1996). His three latest books include Pay the Rent or Feed the Kids (2000), The Vanishing Country: Is It Too Late to Save Canada? (2002), and the recent Rushing to Armageddon (2004). The high profile Mel Hurtig enjoys with his many involvements, professional career, and writing ensures his demand for public speaking engagements across the country. He has actively volunteered on numerous boards and committees, and his commitments and passions have been recognized with the bestowing of many awards and honorary degrees. Mel Hurtig is an Officer of the Order of Canada and received the Lester B. Pearson Man of the Year Peace Award (1988). Recently, he was named an ‘Edmontonian of the Century’, honoring individuals who contributed significantly to Edmonton’s growth in the past 100 years.

Mel Hurtig has four grown daughters, and he resides in Edmonton with his wife Kay.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The Mel Hurtig fonds encompass a wide range of records, documenting the many areas of interest and pursuits Mr. Hurtig enjoyed in the professional, personal and political arenas of his life.

In the first series, Hurtig Business Records, only a few files concern Hurtig’s Bookstore; most of the files relate instead to his publishing concerns. The series includes correspondence with authors and a series of files Hurtig called “Possible Future Books”, where book proposals and potential publishing projects were considered. The correspondence with authors is very interesting and the Hurtig Business records series provides the researcher with some sense of the complexity involved in the publishing world. There is extensive business correspondence files located in Series 1 and they have been arranged in date order by day, month and year. It is perhaps a misnomer to label Hurtig’s correspondence as business or personal or CIC/COC etc., because such tidy separations do not actually exist in his correspondence. All these ‘boundaries’ blend together. His letters to authors, for example, often contain information related to his CIC and COC initiatives, and the hundreds of invitations he receives for speaking engagements invite him to speak on topics encompassing his many interests and expertise. In the end, the letter-head the letters were sent on determined what series the correspondence was filed with; the letters located in this series were written on various Hurtig business logo stationery. The CIC and COC correspondence are likewise filed because of the letter-head or titles typed on the retained flimsy file copies. In more recent dates, the correspondence often consists of printed e-mails, again on numerous issues and topics, but is filed in the ‘Personal Records’ series because of when they were written in relation to Mel Hurtig’s stage of life and career. Separate finding-aids are available to the records of The Canadian Encyclopedia and The Junior Encyclopedia of Canada

Mel Hurtig’s involvement with the Committee for an Independent Canada and with the Council of Canadians is well-documented in Series 2 and Series 3 of the fonds, particularly in regard to the issues both groups were involved with. Hurtig was a central figure in both organizations, and his correspondence files provide a valuable record of the day-to-day operations of these national bodies, as well as a more global view of the organizations and the public personas they presented. There are copies of board meeting documents and executive correspondence, as well as policy documentation, issue- oriented presentations, news releases and related clipping files. A major issue the COC, in particular, rallied against was the Free Trade Agreement and there is an extensive collection of research material and documents gathered for background reference and research purposes. The COC corresponded with federal politicians, well-known Canadians, and other action bodies (such as the Pro-Canada Network) in assembling their

9 Mel Hurtig issues information library, as evidenced in the Series 3 files. Peace and disarmament issues are also extensively documented in the COC files.

Series 4, consisting of Mel Hurtig’s political files, contains files related to his membership in and candidacy for the Federal Liberal Party and more extensively, his founding and leading of the National Party of Canada. The National Party records are fascinating in that they clearly document a unique event in the Canadian political landscape. In a time frame of about two years, a party was formed, ran a national election campaign, and was dissolved, with the records in this series documenting the dramatic unfolding of events.

Mel Hurtig’s book writing files are retained in Series 5. There are complete drafts of the following Hurtig books: The Betrayal of Canada, At Twilight in the Country, The Vanishing Country, and Rushing to Armageddon. Chapter drafts contain editing comments, corrections and additions and deletions. There are also related clipping and publicity files that document the book signing and speaking tours post publication.

Series 6 is broadly defined as personal records, and includes textual files, published material and photographs. While the files contain references to family and personal concerns, again there is the blurring of boundaries with a lot of the e-mail correspondence focusing on political and issue-oriented topics. Hurtig corresponds with well-known Canadians in campaigns designed to oppose missile defense, call attention to issues of Canadian sovereignty and affect political change. The photographs span a period of some sixty years, and also included in this series is a collection of books given to Hurtig by their authors, with Hurtig usually referenced in the book.

The final series, Series 7, contains audio-visual records including video-tapes, cassette tapes, and compact discs. The subject matter of this material references all the previous series topics, and is listed in date order.

The records are in excellent physical shape and provide a very complete documentation of the activities and passions of a well-known Canadian.

Series II.

COMMITTEE FOR AN INDEPENDENT CANADA

II. Committee for an Independent Canada (CIC) Records. --1968-1985.-- 2.40 m of textual records.

Archival Description: The records are very complete, and have been subdivided into several sub-series to reflect the structure of the organization. Mel Hurtig was an early Chairman of the CIC, and there are files of flimsies that were sent to and from this office. As well, there is correspondence retained in alphabetical order by correspondent name or subject. Other sub-series include Operational files which includes executive board meeting documents; Communications, Project files, Local Chapter files; and a fairly extensive set of Issues files, The Issues files consist of CIC briefs and presentations, papers and talks prepared by Hurtig, information files, more in-depth research files and news clippings.

Scope and Content: The records in this series provide an excellent overview of the CIC organization. The sheer breadth of the records suggests how very involved Mel Hurtig was with the Organization. His CIC Chairperson correspondence files document both the structure of the CIC, and the challenges faced in maintaining interest in and facilitating communication within a nationally-based association. The board meeting records are comprehensive, as are the CIC project files. The records related to local chapters are fairly sketchy, often just containing a newsletter sent to Mel in his role as Chairperson. The bulk of the records are in the Issues sub-series, and they provide the researcher with a wealth of information on what fuelled the Committee for an Independent Canada.

File titles were derived from original file titles.

Series III

COUNCIL OF CANADIANS

III. Council of Canadians, --1974-2004. –4.80 m of textual records.

Archival Description: Mel Hurtig’s Council of Canadians (COC) records are quite extensive, reflecting his close ties with the organization, and the fact that the Council’s existence is on-going. While most of the material is textual, there are some COC posters and artwork listed at the end of this series. The material is in good physical condition.

Scope and Content: Mel Hurtig founded the Council of Canadians and served as Board Chairman, and his correspondence files are thick with incoming and outgoing letters. As well, he maintained files of COC Board meeting documents for the years he was actively involved on the Board. The COC files Hurtig maintained have been further described as Communications and Promotion; Chapter records; Financial; and Policy/Issues. The bulk of the records are in the category of Policy and Issues, which includes speeches, research and information files, major research topic files, and news clippings. The major issue confronted by the COC was Canada’s proposed Free Trade Agreement with the United States. The COC campaigned widely against the signing of any such agreement, and the records are filled with the Organization’s background research, policy statements, speeches, and writings on the topic. The COC also partnered with groups like the Pro- Canada Network to oppose Free Trade initiatives, and this ‘joining of forces’ is reflected in the records. A final sub-series includes COC posters and artwork, often over-sized, and used for a variety of purposes.

Series IV

MEL HURTIG and POLITICS

IV. Mel Hurtig and Politics, --1969-1995. –2.6 m of textual records

Archival Description: The records in this series are in excellent physical condition, and are primarily textual. They consist of Mel Hurtig’s personally maintained files, including correspondence and research records. Included also are a few National Party posters and a set of charts and graphs used in N.P. talks about Canada’s economy. Related audio- visual material is listed separately at the end of the finding aid.

Scope and Content: This record series, although relatively small, provides a fascinating glimpse into the political career of Mel Hurtig, and the dramatic rise (and fall) of a Federal National Party – the National Party of Canada. There are a few files of records related to Mel Hurtig’s association with the Liberal Party of Canada, and his run for office in the 1972 Federal Election, but the bulk of the records relate to the National Party of Canada. Mel Hurtig, as a founder and first leader of the National Party of Canada, was at the center of the National Party’s establishment, and a driving force in organizing candidates from across the country to run in the 1993 Federal Election. Soon after the election, the Party experienced a great amount of internal struggle and stress, leading to the eventual demise of the party; again clearly reflected in this series of records.

Series VI

MEL HURTIG’S PERSONAL PAPERS

VI. Mel Hurtig’s Personal Papers, --1924-2004. –2.2 m of textual records

Archival Description: The records in this series are in excellent physical condition, and consist of textual records, photographs, books and a few graphic items. They have been arranged in a basic alphabetical order within distinct sub-series titles. The photographs are listed in chronological order, with several of the photographs maintained in oversize storage. The books, as well, are arranged in chronological order by date of publication.

Scope and Content: This record series, although relatively small, provides a fascinating glimpse into Mel Hurtig’s personal life, particularly focusing on his activities post- businesses and post-CIC, COC, and National Party. There are records related to family and personal business, as well as a series of personal correspondence and clipping files. Of particular interest are the sub-series of printed e-mail communications which date from 2000 through 2004. While not strictly personal, the e-mails capture the issues and topics of interest and concern to Mel Hurtig in recent years. His opposition to air-missile defense initiatives and his rallying of prominent as well as not so prominent Canadians to promote this position is well-documented with the e-mails. There is a sub-series of Canadiana books, often signed by the author, and frequently containing a reference to Hurtig in the book. The photographs span a period of over six decades and include family pictures as well as photographs related to his publishing and political/activist career.
