    E.P. Taylor Research Library & Archives Description & Finding Aid: David Brown Milne Fonds CA OTAG SC117 Prepared by Amy Marshall Furness and Blythe Koreen, 2008 317 Dundas Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5T 1G4 Reference Desk: 416-979-6642 www.ago.net/research-library-archives David Brown Milne fonds David Brown Milne fonds Dates of creation: 1899-1975 Extent: 781 sketches 100 watercolours 87 cm of textual records 34 photographs 5 sketchbooks 1 easel 1 paint box Biographical sketch: David Brown Milne (Burgoyne, Ontario 1882 – Bancroft, Ontario 1953) was a painter and etcher; he is widely considered to be among the most outstanding Canadian artists. He worked as a schoolteacher before deciding to study painting in New York where, in 1903, he enrolled in the Art Students’ League. Milne supported himself through commercial artwork but actively and successfully developed his own painting, exhibiting five canvases in the famous Armory Show of 1913. His friends during this period included James (“René”) Clarke, with whom he maintained a correspondence for many years. In 1916, Milne and his wife Patsy (née May Frances Hagerty), whom he had married in 1912, left the city and settled in Boston Corners, New York. In late 1917 Milne joined the Canadian army as a private, and in 1918 was appointed as a war artist to record the locations of battles that had involved Canadian troops. Milne returned to Boston Corners in 1919, where he spent most of his winters until 1928, summering in the Adirondacks. He moved to Ottawa for one year in 1923, when the National Gallery of Canada bought six of his watercolours.

George Ignatieff was educated at Lower Canada College, Montreal, and in Toronto at Central Technical School and Jarvis Collegiate. In 1936 he graduated with a BA in Political Science and Economics from Trinity College, and then went to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship, completing his MA in Slavic Studies in 1938. At Lester B.

In 1972, Ignatieff left the post of Permanent Representative of Canada to the European Office of the UN at Geneva (from 1970) to become ninth Provost and Vice-chancellor of Trinity College, a position he held until 1979. From 1980 to 1986 he was Chancellor of the University of Toronto.
