With the exception of two letters in French, the remainder of the Pacey Fonds is in English.
Photocopies of material from the National Archives, contained in Series 2.1 to 2.5, carry with
them the same restrictions that are imposed by the National Archives - the files remain closed until
the year 2007. Some UNB Department files in Series 4 may contain personal information which
requires some restricted access in order to protect individual privacy. This generally will involve
temporary removal of single items so that the remainder of the file contents will be accessible to
the public. English department files may be viewed with the permission of the department head;
otherwise, these files have restricted access for thirty years.
The National Archives of Canada has a collection of Pacey Literary Papers. A partial finding aid
has been compiled for this
collection. The photocopies of correspondence between Lorne Pierce and Frederick Philip Grove
are housed in the Queen's University Archives. The UNB Archives and Special Collections
Department contains other important Canadian literary papers and the extensive Hathaway
Collection. Related UNB departmental files also are housed in the UNB Archives, together with the Margaret E. Hicks Collection of W.C.D. Pacey correspondence. Researchers
should consult with Archives staff for further assistance.
