UNIVERSITY OF REGINA ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS THE DR JOHN ARCHER LIBRARY 89-78 WALTER STEWART By SHELLEY SWEENEY, WITH ASSISTANCE FROM MICHELLE GILLANDER AND LAURA RATHGABER JANUARY 1991 REVISED APRIL 2009 By ELIZABETH SEITZ 89-78 WALTER STEWART 2 / 20 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Walter Stewart is an investigative journalist and writer par excellence. He has the inquisitive mind, the blunt honesty, and more particularly, the nose that makes for a good reporter, in every sense of the word. His love of the search for some kind of truth has led him to delve into a diverse number of subjects: the high price of food, Crown Corporations, the history of the Loyalists in Canada, the Pickering Airport fiasco, Trudeau. In all, he has written eleven books, ghostwritten at least two,and edited a book on Canadian newspapers. He has worked for the Toronto Telegram, the Star Weekly magazine, Maclean's, the Toronto Star, the FP News Service in Ottawa, the Today Magazine in Toronto, The Toronto Sun, and Policy Options magazine, in a variety of capacities. In addition to his investigative and historical writing, Stewart was Director of the School of Journalism at King's College, Halifax for two years, and Max Bell Professor at the University of Regina. He has lectured frequently, and appeared on radio and television. Stewart, however, is not simply all work and no play. One only has to read his "Bosky Dell" columns for the Toronto Sun, or his murder mystery Right Church, Wrong Pew, to appreciate his lighter side. His correspondence can be quite hilarious and even his serious writing is never without a leavening of humour. Stewart obviously likes his work and doesn't let the allowable cynicism his work engenders interfere with his enjoyment of life. Joan, his wife, supports him in this last endeavour, as she does with his work. This collection contains Stewart's published works, and for the books and some of the major articles he has written, the research files and publications used in their production as well. Of particular note is the early Maclean's material which Stewart rescued during one of his many times with the magazine, and the material on Maclean's during the tenure of Peter C. Newman. Much original and copied material exists in the files which is from Maclean's staff members other than Stewart; he was considered to be the magazine's repository for this information. The papers are very much limited to Stewart's professional life, with glimpses of his personal life appearing only very occasionally. NOTE ON ARRANGEMENT: I have tried to adhere to Walter Stewart's own arrangement of materials, as well as his titles in every instance possible. Slight changes were made to clarify relationships of material, one to another. 89-78 WALTER STEWART 3 / 20 TABLE OF CONTENTS Certificates Correspondence Daybooks and Diaries Financial Records Goodwin's Magazine Maclean's - Early Maclean's Photographs Writing - Early Writing Articles Books CBC FP News Service News Hour Spots Speeches 89-78 WALTER STEWART 4 / 20 BOX 1 CERTIFICATES 1947-49 CORRESPONDENCE January - May, 1967 May - December, 1967 January - September, 1968 May - December, 1968 January - December, 1969 BOX 2 January - November, 1970 January - December, 1971 January - November, 1972 January - December, 1973 January - April, 1974 BOX 3 January - August, 1974 July - December, 1974 January - December, 1975 January - October, 1975 January - September, 1975 BOX 4 January - May, 1976 March - October, 1976 September - December, 1976 January - December, 1977 April - December, 1977 January - April, 1978 BOX 5 May - December, 1978 January - April, 1979 April - July, 1979 June - December, 1979 September - December, 1982 February - December, 1982 BOX 6 August - December, 1983 January - November, 1983 February - July, 1984 April - August, 1984 June - November, 1984 BOX 7 DAYBOOKS AND DIARIES Diary - 1948 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 BOX 8 FINANCIAL T4s - 1985-88 89-78 WALTER STEWART 5 / 20 GOODWIN'S MAGAZINE 1985-89 MACLEAN'S - EARLY Notebooks Ralph Allen - November 1953 - April 1956 Ralph Allen - April 1956 - September 1957 Ralph Allen - October 1957 - December 1959 Ken Lefolii - June 1957 - November 1962 W.B.
