Documents



Taken from the A.G. Stacey Collection at the Centre for Newfoundland Studies Archives (CNS) at Memorial University of Newfoundland, the documents provide great insight into the various stages of resettlement, from its origins as a "centralization" program in 1954 to the establishment of the Federal-Provincial Resettlement Program in 1965. Public announcements by Premier J.R. Smallwood, reports by officials, community assessments by welfare officers, physicians and clergy, correspondence from community residents, and survey forms and questionnaires combine to give researchers a sense of how the program was established and evolved.

(Stacey was a senior level bureaucrat in the Newfoundland Government involved in the resettlement program during the mid-1960s.)
