    Biographical history

    Lionel Rubinoff was educated at Queen's University (B.A.) and the University of Toronto (M.A. and Ph.D.).

    Custodial history

    This fonds was collected by and in the custody of Professor Lionel Rubinoff before it was donated to Trent University Archives.

    Scope and content

    This fonds consists of scripts of plays presented mostly on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio between 1944 and 1951 which were collected by Professor Lionel Rubinoff.

    Notes area

    Physical condition

    Most of the scripts are printed on highly acidic paper. As a result, the scripts are very brittle and fragile and researchers are asked to use extreme care. Also, many of the scripts are heavily marked and annotated.

    Immediate source of acquisition

    The fonds was donated by Professor Lionel Rubinoff.
