Clarke, Irwin & Company collection relating to Emily Carr

  • PR-2408
  • Collection
  • 1930-1979

The majority of the records in PR-2408 were created by Clarke Irwin & Company during the course of business activities. At some point they were separated out from the remainder of the company records by Irene and William (Bill) Clarke Junior before the company went into receivership in 1983 and was bought out by another company. Other material, such as newspaper clippings and reviews, were accumulated by the Clarkes out of their friendship and interest to Emily Carr.

The collection consists of correspondence, draft manuscripts, brochures, newspaper clippings, two photographs, and other textual material that was created or collected by William H. Clarke and his family. The records date from 1930 to about 1979.
