Assigned ID numbers: 196.131-196.159

This fonds contains textual and photographic materials related to the life and literary work of Colin Stuart - a poet most active in the Vancouver literary scene in the 1960's and '70's. Personal setbacks limited the publishing of his poems, so the bulk of this fonds consists of multiple loose copies and drafts of an extensive body of work that spans almost 4 decades.

The contents of this archive have been divided into six series: Series 1: Manuscripts, drafts, and notes ([ca. 1964]-[before May 2018]).; Series 2: Correspondence (1964-2005); Series 3: Notebooks (1967-2018); Series 4: Photographs ([after 1973]-[2000?]); Series 5: Education and administrative ([195-]-1995); Series 6: Works by Duncan McNaughton and others ([ca. 1974]-2019). Series 1 has been divided into the following sub-series: Sub-series 1: Manuscripts and complete poems (1967-[200-]); Sub-series 2: Partial manuscripts, drafts, and notes ([ca. 1964]-[before May 2018]).

This series contains correspondence removed from other files in the fonds and organized here, primarily by recipient.

2nd accrual, boxes 2 and 3 of 5, organized by donor's sister. Correspondence wriiten and received by Colin Stuart. Multiple individuals including: Duncan McNaughton, Susan Knutson (outgoing only), "Helen", Hiroyuki Ishii, Robin Blaser, Marion McKay, "Mark" and Simon Fraser University.

Annotation: letters 1990-1991, Colin to Shelley, Derek to mother; Miscellaneous diary entries

2nd accrual, box 5 of 5, organized by donor's sister. Note: Unprocessed material to be included in a text Colin was working on -- about love relationships, detailing also the darker side. Colin hoped the final document would include original letters, sent and received, etc., in the vein of Duchamp's Green box. [Arrangement note: Correspondence and items belonging to Barbara found throughout loose papers, along with magazine pages and other seemingly unrelated material. Left in situ in case this was part of the "performance" of the text. 2 photographs were removed to be stored with other prints for preservation purposes].
